Offline labels

Your journey began the day you were born and your story is about your path so far. Who you are as an answer are all the big steps that made you who you are today. The big happy steps. The day you chose the degree you wanted to study, the day you moved abroad and started a new job, the day your long-term relationship ended. All those steps are built with a capitalistic, ambitious vision of the world. I look outside and I see sharks. I want to stay inside and conquer my own world, but I’m asked to tell my story. 

I don’t know who has told people ambition would get them places, but I’m here to destroy it. The purpose will drive action into community building and healthy relationships. Ambition will push everyone aside and leave someone staring at an incredibly dusty mirror. We don’t know what we want. We want what we know exists.

Hypothalamic dysfunction might be more common than one might think. It is highly affected by brain-gut leakage, E. coli and whatever affects your reasoning. I didn’t go to med school, so my ego screams in order for me not to share about topics society didn’t put in my class books. Funny enough, I don’t know anything about Economics or Law and I remember having good grades in those classes. I’m an Economics major. I’m not a lawyer, a professor or an accountant. I’m not a spiritual guide or a life coach. But I’m also not an economist. 

Being asked who I am, I’m aware I’m being asked about the labels I should be giving myself in order to simplify reality and make myself understandable to the outside world. I don’t fancy that question, the same way I don’t fancy getting asked about what I do for a living as a draft script. That is so diminishing of one’s full potential and of all the possible topics we could break into pieces: human behaviour, neuroscience, emotional intelligence, spirituality to name some favourites.

I’m being reminded why I love strangers. That initial bond is where I can choose to be who I want to be, and there are no words of affirmation related to the social perception someone has of my offline persona. I’m aiming to be valued and not to be successful. I’m aiming to meet more people that break the walls, people that know nothing about me or my projects or that are so confident in their own personas they skip facts and go straight into thoughts.
