The unfiltered reality

I am but a number. My name being the product of circumstances I could not control. I live in a world built by the ambitions living. There are a million problems in the world and I feel apathetic, because those issues seem irrelevant. At times I feel indifferent about my own issues because I don’t think it is worth it. I currently serve a role as a student in the world; not only in the classroom, but in life. I am constantly learning new things, but I am frustrated when each individual answer triggers several questions. Accepting the hard truth is like swallowing a cup of nails, because even when I feel that I am finished I still have to deal with the scars. I feel that I have to live some of these hard truths with a chaser because they are strong by themselves. We see reality through frames of meaning that we create, so there is no unfiltered reality for us (25). As is commonplace I have several aspects in my life that allow me to look past some my tough realities, because as long as we are convinced we have no power, it will always seem negative (117). My friends and family have been a driving force behind the self-confidence that has defined me among those who know me. What makes reality difficult is the fact that it can turn for the worst without warning and it doesn’t respond to criticism. What has made life tough for me is that even when I feel I have taken a big step I still have to look up and see a road that extends beyond the horizon.
