When I was an undergraduate student at Amherst, Robert Frost had a prominent intellectual presence on the campus, as the namesake of the main library. For me, the Frost Library signified the world that I descended into, when I couldn't find anywhere else to go to escape from a home away from a home that didn't really feel like home. Thus, I embarked on the road less traveled, and indeed, I doubted if I would ever come back.
I embarked on a quest to find myself, in a city that had become my home from the instance that I set foot on the ground. It was a world that made me feel comfortable with who I was because it made me feel as if I could and ought to become who it was that I had always been: the person everyone knew, and the person I wanted to be.
Looking back, I know that that was what made all the difference.
I saved the first for another day.
When you find yourself in your reflection, wherever you are, I think you reach a point along the way that takes you to a place where it isn't about the path, how you got there or where you're going. It's about the moment, the presence and the time to move forward.
About Me
- Little Miss Dissed
- I believe in honesty and I practice truth. I find this to be a challenging and worthwhile endeavor. I suggest it for all. I'm ready to subjectify myself in each moment and situation brought on by popular cultures, current trends, and the ongoing tensions they stir. This time I'm body surfing the waves. Thus begins a quest for insights into the ideals we will find when we embody and embrace the uniqueness and differences that appear when we subjectify ourselves for these qualities that we find in our true selves. Don't "Object" yourself: self-reflexercise.
