Rebirth: I am confident, I am resilient and I am enough

The third and final image in the series: rebirth. This image provides the light that streams from the right in the first image, cutting through the darkness without losing its intensity. Unlike the previous two images, it is notably bright, framed in white with a matching white mat. To the left there is a white-framed mirror reflecting the mask and wig that feature throughout the series. Now…

Rebirth: I am confident, I am resilient and I am enough

I remember passing shopwindows with my mother and asking why people didn’t just kick them in. She explained that there were unspoken rules of social behaviour, and that’s the way we coexist as people. I felt instantly confined by the notion that we are born into a world where everything is mapped out by those before us. I struggled to suppress destructive impulses and worked instead on creative ones. Still, the small rule-hating self within me did not die.

What Are Social Norms and Cultural Practices?

Learn what social norms and cultural practices mean, how they shape behavior, and why they matter in everyday life and society today.

Every community is governed by certain unspoken rules. These are the rules by which we live, and they determine how we behave, how we talk, how we celebrate, and sometimes, even how we think. Day-to-day rituals and behaviors are impacted, including how we greet others and what we wear to festive gatherings. Expectations such as these are shared and commonly held and are often described associal normsandcultural practices. Although they are related to one another, each is uniquely significant in identity and community formations.

Observation: Children regulating each other

I find it fascinating how society has placed this whole idea that children are just wild and untamed without structure, except they are completely able to regulate each other especially the older helping the younger.

The above image is an example of this. When we came, it was a pair of presenting-boys, probably not more than 10 y/o, and now it’s a set of presenting-girls who are making sure that children don’t run into each other down the slide unless that is their intention.

It’s really interesting to watch. Children just want to have fun which means everyone has fun. This is not the first time I have witnessed this where I live and it is a nice change of pace. I recall doing this as a child but few other did it. Seems it’s finally caught on. 😊

If everyone was a minimum of 1% kinder, we would be living in a very different world. I am certain of this.

Today’s life advice: You can’t go to class naked. It’s not optional. Speedos don’t count as clothes either, so don’t even think about it.

Obligations of Society and Our Identity Crisis

Obligations of Society and Our Identity Crisis

The human society is governed by a set of rules that give responsibilities to its members. Our approach to these responsibilities will eventually form our identity.

One of the most eminent aspirations for anyone in life is to grow closer to the image of their ideal selves. That longing for idealism is not merely characteristic, since we also form an image of the ideal society in our mind…

I'm tired of society. I'm tired of being anxious about what clothes I wear and if I managed to control my hair today. It's stupid, unnecessary, a waste of effort, and anyone who judges me in those things is immediately out if my life if I can help it. But I know, I KNOW, I get treated differently when I tend to those things. I'd love to not and give a big middle finger to the world. But someone will come up to me and let me know how worthless of a person I am for not wearing this season's fashion, and my mental health can't take it. And I hate it.

How can it possibly be an abusive relationship if it makes me this happy? It isn't. And I need to get out of the societal mindset that's telling me that.
