I have always been a person that forms an open mind, a diverse understanding of cultures and opinions. My name, Alexandria, is a common name; however, my father specifically chose it to be based on the city of Alexandria. Ancient architecture, knowledge, and a collection of the world's history interest my father due to his personal interest in history and art. I was raised catholic, but have slowly come to form my own personal opinion about our world, our universe, and believing in science over religious beliefs, but at the same time accepting that not everyone will have the same views. With this understanding of personal opinions comes respect and a connection with others. I have traveled around the world making friends who come from wealth or those who come from poverty, or even those who have made it from the bottom to the top and even vise versa. A human is a human, and love is love.
I was strongly influenced by my open minded parents, by the places I have visited and the people that I have lost. Being influenced by art and culture, trying to improve upon myself and not be blinded by social media. I come from from a home that was religious, but did not attend church and my parents did not force me to believe what they did. My parents views were guidelines for my own; my set of "rules" are that being offended refers to my personal experiences being attacked, but I am not the type to be offended by others. I am, on the other hand, not content when someone else's life is strongly negatively affected by another. If you're idea of a good time is to obstruct someone's personal happiness then it is not just. My ideals or my rules and personal beliefs may be different than some, but that is why they belong to me. I believe there is not one god or many or even a single
controlling deity. I believe we are organisms just here to live and then die. I am blind to race and gender, there are physical differences, but that does not effect how I treat someone. I believe everyone has the right to marry another willing partner. Two men or two women, a Transgender, or even those who are polyamorous are allowed to live the life they wish to live. Abortion is acceptable, no one should be forced to give birth.
What are my labels? Labels meaning what categories I belong to. I am a pansexual female illustrator/Art student. I am categorized as white, American, in my 20's, agnostic, and currently in a two year + relationship. What you read on this blog should only be taken as a personal opinion or critique about a piece of literature, this is a discussion and nothing should be taken to heart. So far, this is for a class, but maybe I'll take it further depending on how it goes.
