Identity Free-Write

who am i? well im mitch. anyway im from oak forest and it use to mean somehting a bit more in highschool because i was proud of it since its small and no one knew of it. all my friends from home are different because they were much better and i always enjoyed telling stories about us to my new friends. i was a somebody once, i was something special because i stood out in the crowd as being unique. now moraine has like 30 districts and people are all like me and now i dont stand out. in class i only do average when i use to be happy and involved, and i was an a student. is this identity? i think standing out gives you one, other wise youre another face in the crowd.

identity is kinda just given to you. i was born on april 30th 1990, same as my cousin, same as hitlers death. i tell you this because he stands out, thats why he has an identity. im sure people kno that fact but they dont kno the day is also my birthday. who identifies this identity? i dont know the governemnt makes me something because truly you can think youre the greatest but how is that? its only in your head unless you soemhow stick out in the world because your famous or involved big time with gov. truly youre nothing but the people you surround yourself with and whether youre made into a big deal by media. so my social security card gives me that. its hard to change the path when youre born into it and grow up with it. its hard to go from one extreme to another. youre born and forced to be on a paper-dates, times, numbers, names etc set you into place. you cant get anything in this country without these things. without youre an outcaste of society, an alien, worthy of punishment and deprivation of many simple needs and most luxuires. to know things is to have an understanding of something beyond whats just being taught. for example, what we learned-were machines in this world, just like how they make us numbers in a line, its called dehumanization. to truly know something is to be outside the machine world and being controlled puppets. being out of line though is seen as bad and youre shunned and punished. need to be aware and educated. you can fnd things through radical theologists who strive not to be average. here i am, average in moraine.
