Identity Post

During the last couple of days, I had begin living a new life outside of home, Quito-Ecuador.  There is a lot going on in my mind, how will I make friends, advices from people back in Ecuador, detaching my family, making a new one (finding one among my friends). 
I question to myself... when do I really get to know someone? Is it when I first meet? When I look into their eyes, when I know their name, or when I get a profound conversation.  


I have been talking and getting to know people in different ways this week, trying to interact, knowing their interests, or just sharing them...  I have got to know some people for their different activities they are used to make, like jobs, clases or places that they have to be in... And I know that if I am kind and transparent and I try to enter in their eyes, I could actually get to know a part of who they are.  Usually there are all this formats of seeing life.... there are things like age, careers, hobbies, interests, life experiences that gets us to the point of knowing who we are or where we are... But is it real? Things like time? Places were we interact...? Or it is all apparent?  I would say that choices, real life expectations and essential origins (like human history) are that kind of things that define our identities. 

So who really I am?  Why I am here?  This is actually the way I might think… Am I all of this choices that I make, that make a way, a path and a human road towards destiny? 
I am actually kind of worried now about people that now know my name while I don´t know theirs… they had created this identity for myself and me to themselves so that we could interact in between.  It is like if all of the rules that we follow as a community, some of the prejudice that we have for our cultures, our countries and our time is what is actually enabling most of interaction.  Now, what should I say about this words?  I can say that we are more involved with the universe of rules (this human universe of rules) and to the cultural beliefs than I thought we where.


I can also say that we are also connected with our feelings, our decisions and that energy that we put of ourselves towards the physical and spiritual world.  Can we actually change it all around ourselves?  Believe it so… But the world keeps spinning, others identity fills the air out, my body works in certain way in this present, I am looking to my computer, to this words and I am also in a room where there are certain artworks that connect to something from my past, my present and my future.  There are this bricks that are covered with white painting… I can´t see them but I know there are bricks inside it.
