Rec | WHAT DOES THE RECOGNITION MEAN TO YOU?

😃

Rec'd on 🫐 WHAT’S A GOOD SPIN ON, NOT BEING RECOGNISED?

Does It make you miss who they saw of you? or do you dislike that they don’t recognize the current you? or is more to do recognition of work? Because in that case “if you live by the cheers, you’ll die by the boos.”

I think it’s just it happens alot from people of all parts of my life. i think it’s a feeling of being easily forgotten or not memorable.

@LADDYLILBADDIE sometimes the impact we want isn’t the impact we make. Ever hear about the bag of Cheetos that damaged an ecosystem? Bad example, but still a demonstration of how small actions can still be memorable. You might not see it, but you are memorable. Maybe your environment isn’t providing the reinforcement to make that clear, but we can also be our worst enemy. I hope I don’t sound like I’m dismissive of your feelings.

@LADDYLILBADDIE focus on the people and things that matter to you, and the impact will be made. Be it by picking up litter or giving a dollar to someone in need. They might not remember your face or name, but your actions will your signature on the earth. Today or tomorrow.

Reminiscent Recollection

I think in my experience on a more emotional/personal level, for every new person or new life experience I gain, it reminds me of my older sister who passed away a few years ago. Like, when someone laughs so wholeheartedly and the way their eyes squint slightly at the same time, or even to how someone would gush over their favorite celebrities, or their new obsessions on tiktok and IG, I see bits and pieces of her in them. Some days are a bit bittersweet, but on other days it almost feels like a breath of fresh air. Like, even in the ways I reminisce on her and the memories we shared both good and bad, no matter the time and death between us, it feels like she's there sometimes saying "Hi" in her own way. I like to think of it as a small balm that helps relive and heal the inevitable grief that follows the Hello's, good bye's, or even the simplest passing glances of someone/something(s) that reminds me of her.

A smile and nod

I had a dream last night where me and my ex saw each other across a crowded room and we just both smile and nodded at each other, which was weird because me and him do not like each other. this made me realize that a smile and nod towards someone you used to sadly know feels better than blocking them out in resentment, acknowledging the past paves a better future. Idk why it feels better it just does…

As a ghost:

To start—> I don’t want this to come off as trauma dumpy, I am v happy with the person Ive grown into. Who I wouldn’t be if I didn’t have these experiences:) I’ve moved around so so so much especially as a kid. I used to feel v guilty bc there were a lot of friends I left behind bc of circumstances beyond my control. This pattern became a trend that continued throughout my life. Went to 4 high schools; was going thru a lot, and was referred to as a ghost. Having someone you didn’t even realize knew who u were say “omg! It’s been a year! We thought you’d died, wow, how are you? Yk a lot of people tried to reach out…etc” completely changed my perspective on the world. I didn’t even realize the possibility I was really noticed outside of my immediate friend group. Another case happened this year at university. I was chatting w someone from a class, their friends walk up to say hi, and one says “your name is Sophia right?” I said yes and assumed I’d just met her while drunk at a show. So I apologized, and asked her name/ where she was from and all that jazz. It got more awkward when she said we went to the same school growing up, same class and everything. I didn’t recognize her at all, but obviously she knew me, it was so bizarre. Continued to see her around campus nearly every day for the rest of the year Lolz. It didnt all actualize for me until recently, and still makes my head spin. I can’t imagine how many people I unintentionally became a ghost to :// being perceived is crazyyyy

YOU EVER KEEP NOTES ON YOUR IDEAS?

Sometimes I write snippets of thoughts of an idea on my notes apps. So if I want get started, I’ll take the note and write verbatim on word and in red as the idea, and build the context around it in black.
