ali's Corner. [The Real Me]

Recently, i've realized
that i have a problem.

It's something I think
a lot of people have,
just not realized it.

I have a problem being
myself 100% of the time.

And I don't mean that
I ever act like someone else,
but that, the person
I have recently created myself
to be is not shown everywhere I go.

As this might be impossible,
I want to start with my everyday life
and show who I am.

At work...
I'm there for 9 hrs, 5 days a week.
And I feel like no one really knows
who I am.
They have an idea, but maybe that's just
"work me"

I want to stop being...
work ali
musician ali
photographer ali
writer ali
christian ali
all together.

And started being all those
ali's into one.
all of the time.
everywhere I go.

I just wanna be me.

I normally don't say a thing
unless it's something important
or you make conversation first.

I just want to live like no one
is watching.

I want everyone in my life to know who I am.
I'm all about feelings/emotions/inspiration...

I am a writer.
Writing is how I let my feelings out visually. I don't give a second thought to my own thoughts. I write down what i'm thinking, what i'm feeling and I do it in case someone else out there is feeling the same thing. To make them feel better and to give them hope.

I am a Christian.
Christianity is how I let my feelings out spiritually. I follow Jesus Christ with all of my heart. And while people doubt my beliefs, I don't let it affect me. Because I've seen first hand, his amazing ways, I've felt his touch and I've heard his voice. I have not a single doubt in my mind that He exists. I won't shove him down your throat, but definately help you to know him if you're willing.

I am a photographer.
Photography is how I let my feelings out visually. I really like to photograph people. Candid. I like to capture their true thoughts, expressions and feelings.

I am a musician.
Music is how I let my feelings out audibly. I mostly write slow pretty songs with easy chords and let the vocals make the song. I'm only scared to sing in front of people I've met before. I like to go downtown and sing on the streets either to myself or whoever wants to listen.

Hi, I'm ali.
I've created myself to who I want to be.
Now I just have to work on showing it off to people.
I'm quite modest. crazy. and funny if you really listen.
I only really get along with genuinely real people.

I like hazelnut coffee
painting
&& laughing.

I don't like being tickled
fast food
or feet.

I'm just ali.
Waiting for the right guy to come along.
I've learned not to settle for just anyone.
But I'm patient.
I'm a proud virgin.
And if you disrespect me,
I'll still love you back.
