Entitlement. A word that seems that many people often times take for granted. What I have found after personal experience and observation is that people do not understand the idea of entitlement. After all, what does it mean to be entitled to something? It's true, many people have different perceptions as to what they are and are not entitled to. It is also true that miscommunication may occur among people pertaining this topic. But what does that line between the two rise in the first place?
I want you now to venture off to your own personal self. Imagine you are meeting someone for the first time. How do you react? Is it like you always knew them or are you reserved as to understand the connection that may or may not exist?
The aspect at that moment that makes you distinguish that difference is internal and entirely self-revolved, and that is entirely normal!
That right there is entitlement; that moment where you realize whether or not you want someone to know the true, crazy, spunky, spontaneous you.
Not everyone deserves that part of you. It's is your choice, your option to understand who it is you want in your life to be as crazy or as normal as you are. In the end you make mistakes as to who is to know the real you but what matters is that you learn where and when people will be in your life.
Your identity is a piece of you that did not happen over night. It is also something that continues to grow with you as long as you continue to move towards the best version of yourself. That better version is the identity that is solely left to you to reveal. You do not owe anyone any explanation as to why you are not what they see you should be. The person you are is the person you have become because of the experiences you have gone through.
It is not about everyone knowing who you are, it is about choosing the people you feel deserve that "entitlement" of knowing who you are that matters the most.
