LUTALICA


We all want to belong to something. But part of you is still rattling around inside these categories and labels that could never do you justice.

You tell the world who you are
in a million different ways.
Some are subtle, some are not.

But it doesn't seem to matter:
this world has already got you pegged.

When you were born they put you in a little box,
and slapped a label on it.
So they could keep things organized,
and not have to think about what’s inside.

Over time you learn to make yourself comfortable
packaging your identity in different combinations
until you feel like you belong,
and can wear your labels proudly.

But there’s a part of you that never really found a home
rattling around in categories that couldn’t do you justice.

You look around at other people,
trying to judge how loosely they fit in their own lives
sensing a knot of confusion hidden beneath a name tag.

And you realize we’re still only strangers,
who assume we already know what the other is going to say,
as if the only thing left to talk about is
who belongs in what category
and which labels are offensive.

You have to wonder if these boxes are falling apart.
If we should be writing our identities by hand,
speaking only for ourselves, in our own words,
taking our chances out in the open
and meet each other as we are,
asking: “What is it like being you?”

—and be brave enough to admit
that we don’t already know the answer.

Maybe it’ll mean that we’ve finally arrived,
just “unpacking the boxes”
making ourselves at home.

And maybe we’ll look back and wonder
how we managed to live in the same house for so long,
and never stop to introduce ourselves.

    Tamara is vrij open dus ze zal met haar problemen dan gauw naar hem toe gaan, hem eventueel vervelen met haar problemen haha maar alles wat ze doet is wel goed bedoeld

    Hey! Ik benader je even zo om iets samen te bedenken, misschien kunnen we nog even karakters vergelijken?

    Goed idee. Ze kunnen elkaar dan volledig vertrouwen en elkaars hulp zoeken als dat nodig is? Tamara zal zelf ook in een lastige situatie terecht komen, aangezien ze een soort relatie begint met een leraar terwijl ze eigenlijk weet dat dat nooit iets kan worden.
