Borges and I - Post # 1

The piece Borges and I is very unique and at the same time it opens up to many readers that this is a real situation that a person can suffer from. Split-personality could be a problem if managed without control, for instance, a person can even hate there other self and try to hurt themselves. There is a lot of different types of split-personality and even though I don’t think this person has an advance case of split-personality he should be careful that it doesn’t increase into something more serious. This person if you ask me is perfectly normal only for the problem that he doesn’t know how to control his public life with his private life. He dislike how his public life is way different from who is really is. Borges writes and his true self reads and nothing in those pages seems to relate to the real him. He dislike the fact that no one really knows who he is only Borges who seems to be so different from his true self. He knows that Borges other half is part of him but he can’t stop him and sometimes he even believe that he should just be Borges and leave himself go.

Everyone navigates different roles in our daily life. For example, I am a student, a girlfriend, a friend, a family member, and young adult. As a student I am serious and complete every work that it’s assigned to me and try to do it to the best of my ability; therefore, I try my best to keep my GPA as high as possible. As a girlfriend I try to be understanding, unique, have fun but still be serious, and leave some time open for him. As a friend I love to laugh, make jokes, act insane, and do things ill remember forever, for instance, with my friends sometimes the smallest object can keep us talking for hours because of nonsense things we say. As a family member I try my best to help each and everyone in my family and make them happy; therefore, sometimes I wish I had the power to take away every problem they might have and make my family happy. As a young adult everything stresses me out, I am sacred of the future, of making the wrong decision, and sometimes it is so hard to do something you are not sure about, yet I want to discover and try new things. With all these different roles in my life, I believe my personality is pretty much the same. One thing I notice is when I am hanging out with my friends sometimes I get insane by doing random things and when I am with my family or boyfriend I act more serious.

Who am I? Well, for me, that’s a very difficult question to answer and I think as years goes by this question gets easier for the fact that I will be more settle down. As in right now all I know is that I love my family and I would do everything for them. I have learned that in this world everything is difficult but if you just try you can do everything you want to do and I know I got the power and I am very hard working and will finish my career, so somewhere in the future I will have a job that I would like and enjoy. I am someone that has feelings and sometimes people take advantage of that. I get hurt easily but at the same time I recover fast. I am a very strong person that can deal with problems, stresses, and always finish what I start. Sometimes I can be a perfectionist and want everything to be perfect. I am very organize for the things I like or care about. I like to design things and love working with my hands. I love watching movies and capturing every detail of the movie if not I have to go back and replay that part. I am lovable, sensitive, and love helping people. I can be quiet and shy at the beginning but once you get to know me I wont stop talking. I don’t trust a lot of people but when I trust someone I trust them so much which could be my weakness cause that’s how I get hurt the most. Who am I? I am not sure I could only tell you how I am right now maybe tomorrow ill change.
