You will be forgiven if you think people that battle with sense of belonging are teenagers or elementary school children. These days people that should be seen as matured, passed all those silly stages and have discovered their true selves are rather immature.
We are in an era where social media plays a
huge role in our lives. It contributes both positively and negatively in our daily
activities. And can be blamed for making people detach from who they really
are.
Everyone wants to be noticed and cheered. See
me, see me is what they chant on social streets. People are fighting for
ownership of the cool spots. They want to be seen as smartest, the most
knowledgeable, the dopest, carefree and open minded beings.
Some shame suppress their thoughts on many
things and go with the crowd. It’s like they waiting to be told, you too are
important. You views can add value to the topic at hand. Make known what you
are dying to utter but have been holding back because you fear being misjudged.
I think it is of our nature as human being to
want to take leadership positions on everything and be seen as the one
directing, telling everyone what to do or setting trends. The need to have the
upper hand is great.
The foreseeable problem is losing one’s self
trying to impress strangers. Wanting to keep up with abantu ongazange ubabone
nasemdudwini wamasele.
Truth of the matter is that we all have
something new to bring. When we stay true to ourselves we allow the world to
witness the variety that we possess collectively. Imagine when artists stop
being creative and copy foreign style of recording music. Basivimbe ubuncwane
bomamela umculo ocwengileyo.
Money and popularity have a way of fooling
people. Sadly some people succumb to the idea that only rich people deserve to
be heard even when they don’t have anything better to say.
Endizama ukutsho, be your true self at all
times. Fight to be who you kuba the world needs it. Not replicas but wena and
you only.
Mazi enethole.
