What does it Feel Like to be a Human on the Inside? From the Journey of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

When this question first popped into my head, I thought 'I know who I am and how I feel. But soon I realized that I do not. How is that I had finally stumbled across a question that I could not find a definitive answer. As always, I decided to tap into my intuition. A lot of soul-searching provided no answers, except one - I am. I breathe, therefore I am. I live, therefore I am. I think, therefore I am. I create, therefore I am and I embrace, the human in me therefore I am. To be a woman is equal to being a human. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is not judging yourself for who and where you are. It is allowing the history of you and all that you lived be the source of your expression and creativity. It is accepting your body and soul for all that it can (and can’t) do or be. It is holding on to the opinions and ideas that have shaped you. And much more, such as reaching the essence of you. Constantly going through the pain of discovering and rediscovering your own humanity. The reexamination of the beliefs and narratives created by you and by others who surround you.

We like to employ dramaturgical metaphors and life, as argued by Shakespeare, is a stage. But maybe we have the power to redefine, reinvent, or simply peel away like layers the never-ending number of 'masks' just to reveal the core essence of our being. You might think that during this journey you are losing yourself (or who you think you are). Because you are losing a mask after a mask. And honestly, you love those masks, the mascaraed. Well, so wake up an artist and scientist in you. This is what they do. They examine who they are. All the time. They get lost in their thought or stage roles. They travel physically & intellectually to all these places in examining the potentials of what it means to be who they and others are.

Exploring the world that surrounds, above and beyond, is their aim. They turn, not only their own worlds upside down but worlds of others and they seek for the mysteries of who we, humans and the whole wor(l)d really are.

Bon Voyage!
