Introducing Myself by Khori Mitchell
During the summer I was able to spend a lot of time in my own personal solitude. For those who don’t know, solitude is the state or situation of being alone. I was able to learn more about myself ,and in turn learn more about others. I don’t know if you all remember but recently the class was talking about favorite subjects. Mine personally is psychology ,but it used to be government. During the summer my interest in psychology rose. It was a consistent wonder of who I am and why I do the things that I do that peaked my interest.
I’ve always been a really caring and empathetic person. Some people have even called me hypersensitive ,and I honestly couldn’t disagree. But the more I think about it, I was raised that way. When I was younger I often spent time with my grandmother because my mom was working a lot to provide for me. For those who don’t know my grandmother is a very caring and strict individual. I remember always asking her questions about anything, and I learned many important things from her. The most important thing that I’ve learned from her is that it’s okay to allow yourself to be emotional ,or to allow yourself to feel. I think today we live in a society that normalizes suppressing your emotions. I have met so many people who describe themselves “nonchalant” without really knowing what that means. I’ve also learned suppressing your emotions is pretty useless because eventually they’re going to come out in some type of form.
I’d also like to point out that I didn’t go over my hobbies, my likes , dislikes etc. But that’s because they constantly change.
