11/15 recap

Today was a fun day.  It was interesting to see all of the projects people had done for the personality assignment.  I found several people's really interesting, the thinker, the tires, and a few others.  I must say though, it's rather annoying when the class is starting to dig in about the deeper meaning of a piece to be randomly interrupted with information that has nothing to do with the current conversation.  one thing that I didn't start a discussion about because I figured it would take quite a while for my rant to finish was something as follows.  When we're young we show our true self to the world.  But we quickly learn that the world is a painful place and we hold our true selves in high regard and don't want it damaged.  So we learn to build layers between our true selves and the world.  The masks we wear when around others, the people we pretend to be, or the way we act to fit in.  Other's see those and build their understanding of who we are and our personality off of it while most never see that true self.  And sometimes we build so many layers that we forget who our true self is and start identifying with the masks that we hide behind rather than who we are.  Then there's the idea that we are identified by who we were, not who we want to be or are working on becoming.  So that we are constantly chained back to the actions we have done before by others.

here's my inspiration picture for next week:
