Who Am I? Day 1

Who Am I? Day 1

June 7, 2009

You know… when I looked at this question this morning, I didn’t know what to think, how to answer the question, or where in the heck a journal all about asking the question “Who Am I?” could take me. What’s the point? But, now, as I truly think about it, there is much to be gained from thinking in this fashion… and the first thing I’ve come to realize is this: I have been (as of late) defining my me-ness based on “what” I am doing and the positions I fill in life. No longer do I actually look at myself as who I am. What’s sad is that I flat out do not recognize myself anymore. I know who I used to be, and who I used to want to be…. But who I am…. she's there... but where exactly, I don’t know. And that sucks. That’s wack, that’s butt, that’s all the things that are associated with not being good.

Outside of being a teacher, a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a writer, etc….. I can't put into words who I am. What defines me? What matters to me? Who am I? Well, I am an explorer and a learner, a person who likes to just live, watch stuff, learn stuff…. Is that who I am?
