Embracing Otherness

Im in my stance facing my opponent on the field, listening to the roaring crowd, the sweat, the pain, my body being pushed to its limits, the great feeling of victory coming my way; yeah thats when im most myself. Under the friday night lights, fighting to bring a victory.

Playing football is something that i enjoy. It creates a feeling of inexplicable joy inside me. It makes me feel like if I am truly myself.

When I am playing football i feel free, like i am unstoppable. All my worries seem to disappear. Anything that was bothering me simply vanishes. It's just me and my teammates pursuing the same goal together.

I found that doing something you really enjoy will make you feel like you are yourself. It brings a feeling of oneness that that represents our "self". Oneness or otherness is not something we should be affraid of or run from.

Otherness defines who we are in the end, because our "self" changes constantly throughout our lives. It is essential that you find that one thing you truly love to do and embrace it because that creates who you are. You cant find out who you truly are if you don't open your eyes and accept otherness.
