And they wonder what goes on in my head..

A unique perspective is one of the few things one has..

Ever since I learned about the word "verstehen", which is the German word for "understand" but also defined in sociology as the ability to put oneself in another's shoes, I felt I had the power to take on one's perspective..

It's possible, and I feel like I can do this pretty accurately, however there's just these minor details that cannot be understood or even explained.

Verstehen is much much more complex than simply empathizing, because anyone can "empathize", you can act empathetic, and you don't require much knowledge. But as I was saying, the point is that yes, I might be able to perform this pretty well and so can others (I'm not special whatsover lol), but one's perspective isn't as simple as that person may think. It's hard to really say that you have a true understanding of what your own perspective is because there are so many unconscious sides to it.

Why am I saying all this?? I really don't know honestly, my perspective on this subject can't be explained in one blog post, or even thousands of blog post..there will always be something left out...I feel like watching Vantage Point now, lol. Such an awesome movie, really.

But I guess if I had a purpose for reflecting on this is that as much as I want to feel alone in this world, I'm really not. The fact that I could never be understood is not unique to me. Everybody in this whole world cannot be understood fully, but this is not a bad thing.

We can then hold our perspectives tightly and realize that when there's nothing left around us, we own more than we think.

This is just one of my ways of saying: appreciate what you have (mentally), know what you're capable of doing so that you don't let yourself get overtaken, and trust in yourself more.

Everyone's unique, everyone's beautiful in their own way, we just have to realize it..

I hate feeling like I'm preaching, but shit, random thoughts just hit me out of nowhere and fall right onto this blog..
