People in my circle always worried about underperforming at work, afraid of their co-workers’ criticism. Sometimes we worry about our so-called failure because our mind is programmed to think that specific situation is the opposite of success. We need to change our mindset. Our paths are different, even though in some sense we do go through similar hardships. Our journey to change our mindset is going to be different. I have been watching a video on coursera about “Intensity and the Ordinary” as part of the “ The Modern and the Postmodern (Part 2) ” course. The instructor, Mr. Michael S. Roth , referred to Freud’s concept of pursuing consolation. Freud wanted people to understand that they won’t find consolation through ideals.

The more we suppress what we want, the more we become aggressive. The bomb is ticking — we’ll soon explode, and let our agony flow freely, like when a balloon full of air blast and all its air freely abandons the premises of its past captivator. One of my main concerns is being labeled and defined by the society we live in, or perhaps I live in. I’ve written about my  fear of being labeled , but I hate being labeled as much as I fear it. My story begins when I was merely 6 years old. That’s when my parents decided to immigrate to another country so that I could have a better future.

Is there any antidote to the engulfing sorrow? Downbeat, I was unable to flee from the ravages of my own dolor I was fumbling to find a light rummaging for a crescent moon or a hidden star I was fumbling to find a light that will point to my freedom to a place distant from the lurking inner scars Yet, I was unable to flee from my own scars, as the freezing embrace of the darkness gently steered me towards my own madness

I believed the vantage point was in my favor, Poignantly I’d disregarded your embellished truth I supposed I could and took a leap of faith, Your elicit silence only echoed from afar Unknowingly I’d stood on the edge of the precipice, Waiting for your pledge I’d beheld your moves Unaware of your embellished truth, You’d directed your verdict from the very start
