The persona paradox
[part of my first assignment for my Comprehensive Writing Course]
We think, we talk, we feel, we act, we try to show the world a part of our soul. Every morning we wake up, we submit to the social conducts of the society we live in. Some choose to glow and empower one self, others choose to live in the shadow of the common thought. We try to live our lives as a “I”, a individual, but that is destroyed, is dismembered by the rules of the civil conduct that is imposed by general authority. To coup with this we create a persona, a self censored version of what we actually want to be and do. The question that is born from this action is, what is our true self, the persona that we create from our own rational thought or the core that we self censure? Our true self is reason that submits or the sum that we mask to live peacefully with one and other?
Fiction writing is not something that belongs to the imaginary, fantasy or mental diseases, it’s born from the lust for a life that would be discarded by the social laws that we are forced to embrace. Writing is a coping mechanism that one self can exercise and develop under mentorship to a state of serenity and self sufficiency. It’s a gateway to living a life with no boundaries, a life were your actions would be perceived by the public as a persona of your own persona, two truths that cancel each other, but make you feel alive. What we search is for a guide line, a mentor that helps us to create a voice that knows how to talk properly, clear, that evolves and finds it’s own way. What we look for is someone to tell us when we are not babies anymore.
