One of my favorite people recently told me,
Thereās an āInstagram Shannonā and then there's the āReal Shannonā. (No harm intended.)
I think about this a lotā
I thought I'd try to right something down about it. So here you go.
Hey guys, my name is Shannon, Shaz, or Shan.
I play a thousand different characters,
Autonomously shifting, adapting, creatingā
A mind that sculpts itself
To fit the context it stands in.
Everything I do is autonomous.
I use what Iāve learned in the past to create the present,
Threading myself through time.
A pattern woven into the universe,
Creating new patterns through observation.
I am a part of the universe,
And at the same time,
I create the universeā
The observer and the architect.
Iāll never know everything,
But that only means
Iāll never run out of things to learn.
Iām not sure where my life will take me,
But thatās the beauty in it.
Iāll only ever get there
One step at a time.
I understand that sometimes
The way I act is out of my control,
But I still have to face the consequences of my own actions.
Treat me rightā
Iāll do the same to you.
Iām cockyā
Because it gives me the confidence to do what I need to do.
Iām cuteā
Wake up and cuddle my rabbit type s**t.
Iām ruthlessā
If I feel threatened.
Iām relentlessā
The hardest worker Iāve ever met.
Iām the saddest.
Iām the happiest.
Iām caring.
I donāt give a f**k.
Iām up lateā
Listening to the most renowned scientists:
Neuroscience.
Biology.
Psychology.
AI.
Physics.
I need to learn.
Iām off to bed earlyā
To give my body the rest it needs.
Iāve thought about this
Since I was a child.
I canāt spend too long explaining myself,
I might just end up explaining you, to you.
To you, I am a reflection of your previous experience,
But thatās not me.
To me, you are a reflection of my previous experience,
But thatās not you.
I am you.
You are me.
Only our experiences divide us.
In the end, what matters to you
Isnāt who I am,
But the story that you tell yourself
About who you think I am
And what you think I can do for you.
I'm extremely abstract.
I'm also just getting started
God
