In my entire life up to this point, I believe one particular
experience will always be etched into my memory. This certain encounter
occurred on a Friday night in Guanajuato City in the summer of ‘17. I was 18
years old. My family had taken trips around Mexico before, but this was the
first trip I had gone on in a while. It was a chilly night (by Mexico’s
standards) and the majority of my family was scattered throughout the vacation
home, as well as the shops in the nearby streets around the house that were
very much alive in those evenings. I stood on the rooftop terrace, looked over
the edge of the grand building, and admired the sights and sounds the city
offered to me. I closed my eyes for a moment and let my mind wander. I remember
the faint sounds of serenades playing in the streets below, only their sounds
muffled by the sound of wind rushing past my ear. I realized that in this
moment, I was completely alone. I felt like a ghost, floating above the city. I
was watching them, but not a soul could see me. I was listening to the lives
occurring below me, but I stayed quiet. To quote Fitzgerald, “I was within, and
without”. I felt lonely. In that moment, upon reflection, I started to think
about who I really am. I closed my eyes, breathed deeply, and expected some
voice within me to speak and exclaim my role, my persona, my duty in life,
something; but nothing came. I heard nothing, I stayed quiet for a while
longer, and I waited for my definition. A fairly long period of time must have
passed, for my moment of “meditation” was interrupted by my father, who came up
to the terrace, telling me to come downstairs. I always thought I had a
structured set of emotions in my life. I thought if there was one thing I could
depend on, it would be the ability to express things like anger, happiness,
hate, despair, sadness, and envy. However, after taking a step back, and
viewing the world through the perspective of someone who is within and without,
I find that I am lacking in a serious amount of genuine emotion. I am lacking in
not just feeling love, but in hate as well. I do not feel sad, but I do not
feel happy either. I find that I am in a state of suspension with the world
that makes me question who I really am, and whether or I not I really am anyone.
