distance

Mind is wandering but your feet can just go so far.

Artist Statement: Ever thought about going so far, running away, seeing new things and visiting new places? My picture shows me in the train station wanting to go further then where my destination would take me. Just to see new things and different people. I picked this picture because it shows me doing something that I love which is traveling but I can’t go as far as my mind is telling me to. The relationship between my text and picture is me doing what I like best but not going as far as I want to. I have come to believe that people bias is the same as their perspective.

Reflection:

I say, things aren’t often what they first seem and there’s always a different perspective. When I was younger my sisters, mom and I got into car accident on our way home from church. I had big plate of brownies on my lap thinking I was going to home to eat it. But things didn’t go as plan due to the car accident it dropped. I really wanted to eat that brownie. That car came out of nowhere the way I seen it was it could’ve been going straight while my mom was trying to take a left and crashed into her it all happened so fast. My mom told the officers that she didn’t remember how it went and all she knew that she was turning on a green light. The person who hit my mom car said that my mom was wrong and that she hit him. It could’ve been because I was young, I seen it a different way then the other driver or even my mom. Or my mom doesn’t remember everything that happened because she was the driver and could’ve lost control or a thought because everything happened so fast. Or even the driver because of the position he was in he had to speed and didn’t see my mom trying to turn. This what I mean about things aren’t often as they seem and there’s always a different perspective. We all were thinking about different things and seen it happen differently. But then there’s really what happened which is what people don’t usually see.

Society says everybody should have a choice for themselves as for who they want to be. I say its today generation that allows kids to be transgenders. That why kids and all feel unwanted of who they really are. In Ariel story “Growing up trans”. Talks about how Ariel was born a male but always had the female in her. She was scared for her classmates to see her out of school because she would dress up in princess customs when going out. Ariel grandmother would call her a different princess name every day. She moved schools after she transformed into a girl. To prevent being bullied by kids she grew up with and knew the real her. Her new friends later figured out and accepted her for who she wanted to be. “I feel left out when my friends talk about having baby’s’’. Due to the fact Ariel was a transgender she can’t have kids in the future and it hurts her. She couldn’t even do things other females can do makes her feel left out. I say it was her fault even worst her parents’ fault for even paying for the job to be done. Now she can’t do nothing the person she wants to be can even do because if she was to still be a boy, she would be able to have kids. I disagree with the whole kids turning into trans thing because I feel like they’re to young to do anything to their body’s that could cause them their life’s. Yet even prevent them from doing things their actual gender could do. But if that’ll make people feel better with themselves and prevent them from hurting their self even more then I’m fine with it.
