The onion

The onion is a vegetable with many layers . What is the core of your onion? This is a question that I tried to answer in the last period. It’s funny cause the layers seem to be endless. You keep wondering yourself why? why? why?... and you keep on finding answers or –most probably- lots of other questions.

I can say that I started to rediscover my first layer . Rediscover, because I was so preoccupied with finding the core, that I forgot about the first layer (or you can say the wrapping). It is so interesting , my wrapping is so different from the layer that I got to (the one that I can say it is really close to the core). What is even more interesting ,is that fact that most people see only my first layer (the wrapping) and probably that is something normal.
I can say that this was the biggest “re”discovery that I’ve made and it makes me wondering but also happy. Happy because I know that they are wrong and I know that I can change that .

Why do we have so many layers ? What lays in the core of ourselves?

This was another thing that I learned in the past few weeks : every person has a beautiful core . In our essence we are all good and have the best motivations to behave like we do. What happens is that because of some : contexts, environments, history, bad examples, different experiences and all sorts of other things , the output may not be in concordance with the core…and so , our wrapping may seem ugly(even though we are not). Didn`t it ever happened to you to have the best intentions to do one thing and it came out a disaster (or others perceived it totally different )?

The biggest shift for me was related with understanding others trough this paradigm (that I just described). Now I feel different , I love everybody and I feel like I understand them. I have such a strange feeling : I’m going on the streets and I see so many strangers ,I’m looking at them and I say into my mind : “I know that you are a beautiful person that is waiting to be discovered“. I feel more tolerant and I believe in myself more.

What happens if you let go of your layers …and show the core? Well, in my opinion and from what happened to me is like this: I feel free, I feel outburst and unleashed ..I feel myself .Others are more receptive with you and you also are more fragile and exposed to different emotions. For me, talking with somebody that knows and understands me is the best way of spending my time .

So…I shall try to let go of my layers …as much as I can …I think is the best
