Personally, for me, self-actualization is when a person reaches a state of being and self-awareness mentally and physically. It's when a person achieved their highest achievements without caring other people’s approval and doesn't last very long. Humans only striving for something bigger and better and there no stop. Once a goal is accomplished, they move into the next goal. Once a person accomplished a goal, something happens and knocks the person back down to the esteem or safety level. It’s…

Christopher “Ludacris” Brian Bridges once said, “Get back motherf*cker! You don’t know me like that!” and like Mr. Bridges, we all have our own sense of appropriate space when interacting with the people we encounter in our daily lives. Edward T. Hall, an American anthropologist, studied the phenomena of ‘personal space’ and devised a term for our interactions and reactions within this space, called ‘Proxemics’.

Identity is defined as “the fact of being who or what a person or thing is” and is determined by the characteristics and traits of a person. A person's identity comes from a variety of places and people around them. Identity is not something that stays consistent and it is can easily transform throughout one’s lifetime.
