Being enrolled in the Literature and Philosophy class wasn't exactly a well thought out plan considering I don't focus on either of those items in my studies. But oh, we read Hegel among others. And a startling realization came into light:
I recognize that I need and want to be recognized by others; however, knowing I will never be recognized in the way that I want others to recognize me I compensate by pretending that I don'twant to be recognized.
Take a second for that to sink in. I was outside when it happened, and, thankfully, blissfully alone. the world stopped and I've been mulling over that for about a day now. I recognize that I spend most of my time alone, waiting to be recognized. But I don't actively work on being alone for that purpose; that's just how it's played out for me. So, when I have more thoughts on the matter, I'll be sure to share.
Cheers.
