Being Human, Being Real

Trying to perceive how I am viewed by others is a losing battle that is just not worth the energy. People will think about you on the basis of how they view the world, their limiting beliefs and how they feel about themselves. In this regard, there are as many versions of I, Anannya that exist as the number of people that I have met. Yet, in the damned world we live in, narratives are build and humans are categorized. Why? Because its a fundamental cognitive process! If I am of personality A then I do what A people do. If i attempt to pivot, I fear alienation. So i am put into a neat little tidy box. Life becomes one-dimensional, predictable.

Am i not allowed to express my multitudes, my contradictions without being judged?
