Journey

Journey is a word that means different things to different people. Everyone has a different journey to experience and feel and a different journey to build for themselves and sometimes journeys become similar, other times they’re wildly different. There’s journey for our opinions, and for our sense of self, for our ideas of childhood, for success, love, romance, and so much more. We can’t judge other peoples journey because we never know the things they had to live with.

I’m fully aware that a lot of my points ion view and opinions might be, somewhat, problematic and in the classroom they might incite a bit of a fight that I tend to avoid. Which shouldn’t be a fear that I should have, because we all gave a right to have opinions and points of view, even if they are wrong. We all deserve a space to share our opinions and I have learned the hard way, that out there, outside of my relationship with close friends and my significant other, I can’t really speak about things I’ve found and have a civil discussion. I am right a lot of the times but, I am also wrong some of the time, but being belittled and made to look stupid in the classroom is not really something I actively look forward to, specially by professors and students that think that you don’t think they way they do, you’re less of a human. 

This is a journey that people don’t really look at a lot of the times. The same way that we discussed tourism, and self esteem, and the concept of home. There’s a lot of other journeys that can be spoken about: The idea of love, what’s the best relationship to have?, what’s a real friend, our ideals, our opinions and why we have them, things we notice, things we don’t notice. We really need to learn more about each other with a neutral eyes and realize that there isn’t only one way to look at things, but a million, and be open to them. What’s the need to pressure people one way, when maybe they have a different point of view that you do? Clearly we have a lot more to grow as people. I have my weaknesses and wrongs, but so does everyone else, and some people refuse to see that. I think we should learn that. Our journey are our own, and I don’t really see the need to share them, if I don’t want to.
