It is with a groggy feeling in me that I woke up to the bright sun shining outside. The feeling is terrible. I planned to go to the gym today. Looks like changes have to be made to the plans again.
The feeling is terrible. I feel as if I am seasick. Everything in my vision seems to float around from time to time and my head feels heavy. My body has a sluggish tone to it and the energy levels seem to be seeping away with every moment.
While my body works against me, my mind is working with me. Throughout the night, I have been thinking about Citizenship Education. THis is something which has been of interest to me but I never knew of the avenues available to expand and learn more. Now that there is a chance to do so with the Social Studies option, it is just like God shining a light on me and granting me a wish.
Searching for an identity is not merely knowing which state or country we belong to, or which passport we are holding. There is something more to it. While it might look easy, the process is actually an arduous one. One goes through many obstacles and challenges and experiences to create and find ideas of meaning to them. It is a lifelong effort to find the identity in us amidst all the 'noise' and distractions of the world. Yet, we have to make an effort to do so or we will all soon get lost in the sea of wandering souls. It may not be that bad to be lost in the sea of wandering souls, one just goes along with the flow. Yet, being a firm believer of maintaining a good grasp of one's own destiny and journey, I am for clarity and direction.
With the help from the Big Man above, I hope that I can progress in the right direction and subsequently be of help to others who might just need a little source of light sometime somewhere.
