It appears in the world of all things frustrating the nameless has decided that it is time to separate their belongings from the rest of ours. What they neglect to realize is that they obviously didn't really understand the meaning of the word. IF there were truly a distinction between the nameless's things and ours then the nameless would not even be continuing to squat in our home.
That brings us to another word that the nameless knows absolutely nothing about - ownership. In claiming ownership of a thing or an idea one takes pride in that particular article or notion. But when one owns nothing or refuses to own up to anything therein lies a problem, for when one cannot find it within themselves to be honest with themselves it completely defeats the purpose of ownership.
To say the least, this reminds me of the things that I do not always take ownership of - for instance, my tendency to always be annoying. Many of my friends have taken it upon themselves to alert me of my misdeeds and I greatly appreciate them for that. In making this transition from high school to college I know that there is no place for the way I once presented myself. We all have met or will meet this stage in our lives when the way we used to be can no longer have a place in our conduct. Growing up is not always the easiest thing to go through, nevertheless, it is a right of passage to modify the way we interact with other people and that begins with taking ownership of the way act.
In all honesty, it is up to us to discover those things about ourselves that we do not own up to and make up for them, to change the way people perceive us for the better. People will only know the real you if you show them who that is.
