I've been getting a lot of headaches lately..
It worries me a little.
Some of them are short lived,
but other start late an night and keep going all through the next day..
It's a bit distracting.
My friends joke that it's a hangover, but I'm just like, Uh..no.
Well, the other day in English, we got assigned a new essay topic.
Although, this wasn't like a regular essay...it's a personal essay.
And this isn't a personal essay like the one we wrote in Creative Writing. And even that was ridiculously hard for me to do.
So this essay, she called it an Identity Essay. I basically just said 'Um...WHAT?!?' I can't write about my identity..I can't even write about one aspect of my identity.
I have no idea what part of my so called identity is real and what part I just pretend to have...
So..I just figured out what I'm going to do.
I'm going to write an identity essay from the POV of one of my characters from one of my stories.
Caroline.
She's been a photographer ever since she was little, and because of this,
she's spent her life looking through the camera lens, analyzing people, seeking what's inside them.
But because of this, she's refused to look insider herself.
It's become part of who she is, but she can't see it.
I doubt my teacher will tell the difference.

You must live it to know it, life's full of broken pieces and I'm left alone to clean them up...
Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it. (Blaise Pascal)

it's so true that it doesn't seem possible to write something that embodies your entire identity
