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".
This is my page for American Perspectives.
Loved this, Ariana! Don't fear not being accepted by a group. If they don't accept, then they were not meant to be in your life. Thank God you are in my life! ❤😘
