Being yourself is enough

No matter what happens, as long as you go to sleep with satisfaction and wake up with determination.

I am pretty sure I heard this somewhere because I did not make this up.

Anyways, whether you use words such as labels and characteristics to define you as a human being or not, being yourself is enough. Whatever that jumble of words, or if not words, then actions, may be.

I believe that life is about discovering yourself and blossoming into you as time goes by each and every month. Your priorities should include you. Sure, you have families and friends and maybe even if you are brave enough, you have a significant other. However, I cannot stretch enough about trying new things and getting toward things that scare the shit out of you.

There has been a question on my mind for about a couple months now: is labeling a good or bad thing?

To label or not to label? Laughs out loud. The word label is defined to be "a small piece of paper or similar material attached to an object giving information about it."

Scratch the word "label," my bad, I meant identification.

Is it not beautiful that everyone is different? Is it not normal to be ourselves? Is it not okay to be the >50% of the population than the <50% of the population in terms of who you are?

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being racist, sexist, homophobic, or even a "monster." By monster, I mean all of those people who end up serving time due to breaking a law. There are all, we, are all humans.

But there is not one right thing about them. No one can shut out all of these humans because that would make good and evil divided. There would be a utopia and a dystopia. And the thought of that is giving me a headache.

Who made this Earth? The Big Bang? Who started the human race? Adam & Eve? Who are you? A creation of a sperm and an egg? [Insert other unanswered questions about life]

These questions may or may not have a bunch of answers. In your lifetime, you don't need to answer these type of questions, just be yourself. Being yourself should be easier than answering those questions.

I believe that we must coexist with one another. We must not separate ourselves nor isolate ourselves. As a part of the human race, that's what every person should identify with. If there is extraterrestrial life, then that will be another story for some other time.

Live in the moment; reflect on the past; preserve your soul for the future. "You only live once."
