Identity. Who are you? It's a big theme this year in school. I think we're supposed to know who we are and what we are meant to be by the end of the year. I don't think that's possible, but fine here are some "fun facts" about me.
I hate making decisions. I hate knowing that if I pick one thing over the other, that it could be wrong. That I could've ruined my life in one decision. I overthink the decision till my body shakes and brain spirals. I could be wrong. I can't be wrong.
I am Armenian. As if you didn't already know. I don't shut up about it. I wear a cross and my name in Armenian around my neck everyday, just to flex and inform you. I do so many projects about the Armenian Genocide and my people because I know if I don't, nobody will ever know about us. And then Turkey would have won, and they do not get to win.
My biggest fear is not belonging. But I guess that's not a fear cause its true. Nobody belongs. I've never "fit in" with any group, but does anyone? I think its all in our heads. We're just afraid that they won't accept us, when we need to accept ourselves first. So I guess my real big fear is not being able to have kids, but if anyone asks its spiders.
But I know that this is not what you want to hear. "Hi I'm Ariana and I play the saxophone, I have 2 younger sisters, and I just got my permit". There. That's my identity for you summed up in three "fun facts".
