Who have i become?

Psychology theories, some state that one's personality is dictated by heredity, chromosomes inherited from your mother or father will be linked and would determine who you are as a person, other theories state that it is how one is brought up by his/her environment which includes how family and social interaction could lead a person to become who he/she is right now. Both theories make a lot of sense with evidences from clinical data to prove them. Clark Kent and Lex Luthor's perhaps, Clark's personality was dictated by the way he was brought up by his human parents and Lex's was dictated by genes inherited from his father.

College has changed my personality so much that I find it hard to find my old self back, brining back memories from who I was and who I have become now. It is amazing how one could change because of the social interactions that one has had, media also dictates life so much that it can corrupt so many. Media tells everyone that being a bitch is cool and eating disorders are the only way to maintain a perfect body which is never achievable so one would fall to a bottomless pit and suffer a whole lot to just meet society's expectations.

I would often daydream on how my life would become if everything was perfect, being rich, smart, extremely goodlooking and having a very laid back personality. Everyone wants to have a perfect life, and people would literally kill to achieve such but when will it ever be enough, once a perfect life is achieved, we will ask for more which would bring us up to a life filled with discontentment.

It is not enough for one to realize these facts, but how can we apply this knowledge that we have into our lives so we would not get so caught up and have ourselves to live a life like this.
