Chimera

A Chimera, according to Greek mythology, was a being that had the body of a lion,with the hooves of a goat, and a snake for a tail. It’s a being that isn’t suppose to function but yet it does. The word chimera has been popping up in my life lately. It’s the name of the dance company I am trying to start along with the name of the photography business/studio I want to one day open/start. But lately I’ve discovered I am a bit of a Chimera myself. I can see you sitting there saying, wait, what, you’re a lion with a snake and hooves for feet?

No. But I shouldn’t function with how many conflicting interests and ideals I have but I do. I can’t explain it but my love of music, photography, theater, and writing along with my passion for creating and doing those things seem to blend together and function when I being creating something. I find myself with a personality and interests that should clash but they don’t.

For the longest time I was unable to accept that I may have interests and passions that shouldn’t cross over but they did. It left me in an odd place when it came to friendships. I would go on about how I liked one thing that my friends and I were interested in but would cross it over with something else they weren’t interested in left me on the fringes of that group. But now, I realized something today with PC.

I am happy with being a Chimera. I’m content with the personality and interests I have. And the reason why is because through Fusion and my first year of college, I’ve met people who have seen all the things I like and accept me for it, even if they don’t like it themselves. And its an amazing place to be.

So to all the Chimeras of the world who are feeling down and out, I want to tell you something. It does get better. While it may hurt now and its dark where you are, know that the sun always rises in God’s perfect timing. Just keep creating and being who you are because you will be accepted one day.
