Intellectual Loneliness

Poetry, the language cloaked in imagery— few can speak it, fewer understand the way the sound of words wrap around another meaning. For most, this forest,  thick with foreign syntax, stands impenetrable  as a fortress.  But metaphor—what a door  to wider worlds! Yes, plain English needs her voice, but, oh, my first language. . . . Must I always hide in prose?

I‘m not designed to fit in.

(first of all, im a teenager- still young)

when i was young, i mean like early years of primary school i was happy, i would smile all the time, i was innocent.

but as i grow older i’ve realised i don’t fit in anywhere. i don’t have the same mindset or morals as my peers. im too white for my asian fam but too asian for my white fam. im too young to have opinions but too old to be ignorant or just to simply not know. im not the same religion as most people i go to school with but im not as knowledgable about my religion as those who are also muslms.

im also white-passing, meaning im too white to experience racial discrimination myself but too asian to have all the same privileges as my white peers, friends or family.

for me it wasn’t even a question of, “where do i belong?” it was more of a fact that i don’t belong anywhere. 

but there are still people who feel like they belong even less than i

Sometimes things just suck

Today was my all time low at work. A student barreled down the hallyway and literally shoulder checked me as he tried to get passed me and another student. My first thought “WTF?!” My first words out of my mouth, in VERY pissed off tone, “Did you just really do that? Did YOU seriously just do that?!?!” The kid look dumbfounded. I was fuming. Sat there at work just miserable and others were treating me a bit different than they normally would which irked me even more. I was glad I got approval to leave early. Needless to say, his version and my version were totally different, but I didn’t get a chance to tell my version until the end of my work day and my coworkers were like "oh, well that's not how it was explained this morning". Yeah, real awesome. I honestly wonder if I should continue with this profession. I don’t feel like I fit in anywhere in any work place.

Lost of Inspiration

You’re no longer there. Everyone around keeps breathing that fire and making it more potent every time while mine is extinguishing. I used to be on that first place base but as the clock ticks, I see more and more how they keep pushing me down taking away that trophy. It didn't use to matter, but then I started to see that my brain sees farther than that finish line.  While others are crossing it I'm going through it. I can no longer see the same blue sea as they. I can no longer feel the same emotions they see. I can no longer memorize the exact terms implemented on me. My inspiration is lost. Textbooks/books seem predictable, the world/humans seem predictable. My brain is just becoming full of ominous dark clouds that prevent me from viewing the way the rest do. It's a problem. It feels like I'm that square that should be able to fill that slot but somehow the hand that is holding me is not inserting me correctly. Just imagine a baby learning its shapes; it has to put the shapes a certain way in order for it to fit, but it seems that it doesn't matter how diagonal or straight that hand is trying to insert me I can't fit.  It's like I'm the positive charge pushing against another positive charge not wanting to be part of it. Correction, wanting to be part of it, but can't in any way, shape, or form. Where am I supposed to be? What am I suppose to absorb? I don't want to be a sponge, I want to chose.

Not fitting in

There’s a Kurt Cobain quote that goes: ‘They laugh at me because I’m different; I laugh at them because they’re all the same.’

For me dealing with a physical condition meant I didn’t fit in, but children are cruel that way. Unless they’re taught how to accept and live amongst other children who are different, they will always single us out.

Whilst not fitting in can emotionally make things more difficult, it also becomes obvious to others when children don’t fit in and that can make us feel more isolated, but none of us should feel pressured into thinking we need to fit in. Perhaps that’s the problem that we really just need to be ourselves.

Experience and life has shown me that it’s important to get on with life in other ways that it’s more important for us to fit into our own lives, more than trying to fit into other people’s. We can whinge, complain and moan and continue to feel different, or we can be proactive and get on with things.

Personally, I believe life isn’t about us fitting in, it’s about making our own life count and that’s one of the most important things we can do.
