Pour your heart out in two paragraphs.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lovekthai.tumblr.com/post/23783302918/20-pour-your-heart-out-in-two-paragraphs" target="_blank"&gt;lovekthai&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gosh, this is such a cryptic prompt. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess I’ll talk about what I’ve been having negative feelings about (not so) recently. Keep in mind, I am not a Negative Nancy all the time so this does not reflect the whole of my thoughts. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the past couple months, I’ve had this statement stuck in my head, “I am nothing but a bag of recycled thoughts.” (slight tangent: I’ve actually been wanting to post that statement somewhere so I wouldn’t forget it. However, I can’t think of anything appropriate for it except twitter. And I don’t have a twitter.) It all started when I started thinking about the class discussions in Facher. In English Honors, everyday is pretty much a class discussion and every day the same people talk about their thoughts about whatever book the class is reading at that time. As people talk about their interpretations and analyses of the book, I come to realize one very depressing thing: I don’t have any thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have nothing inside of my head concerning the book. Absolutely nothing. Personally, I think that is so sad. I feel so vastly inferior to my classmates sometimes. And so I try to comfort myself by trying to think about my thoughts on other things. I recall a few days ago when my friend was worried about college and I tried to comfort her by telling her that colleges look for different personalities. My other friend called me out for regurgitating Ms. Monahan’s words about college. At the time, it really offended me because it was true. I was irritated that she called me out on something that everyone does. Knowledge has to come from somewhere, right? Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I started to think, am I a copy of a copy of a copy? At first I think, “of course not. I am my own person. I’m crafty…” Then the omnipresent “but” comes out. “…but don’t I just get all my ideas from craft blogs? Well, I like makeup…but I get all of my ideas from asian makeup artists. Well then what is unique about me?” And I think and think and think. And all I can come up with is the answer to my first question: yes, I am a copy of a copy of a copy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It just depresses me to think that I am only a copy. I mean yes, I am a unique blend of my parent’s genes. But aren’t I just a mishmash of copy and pasting? And as I reflect even more, I begin to feel like a shell of myself. Suddenly, everything that I think I am disappears. Some days, I feel like a beautiful ice sculpture that is specially hand-crafted. But only I am not fully solid. Like half-frozen ice, my exterior is fine but my insides are only a lukewarm puddle of insecurity and dissatisfaction. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t usually post personal things online because I don’t really think it’s good for people to have free access to your inner thoughts. But I’ve actually been wanting to discuss this with someone but he’s off at college so I had to get it out somewhere. I promise I am not as sad as this post is. &lt;/p&gt;
