[Describe Me]


I was talking to Chris yesterday about who I am.

Who am I?

I attempted once, to describe who I am.  Look to the left, and you'll see my who am I page.  I tried to list
facts.  Things that were concrete.

I made a mistake with my last relationship.  I grew so dependent on the other person, that when we separated, I was destroyed.  I didn't know who I was.  And for months, I tried to figure that out.  I'm still trying to figure that out.

The problem I face though, is that I change, I mold, to the people around me.  I don't necessarily change my core being, but I change my reactions and decisions to match those I hang out with, or are around.  What is my core though?



I have several groups of friends:

There's the Squad.

There's Socorro, Karl, Brooke, Andrew, Blake and that group:
 
There's Bryan, Weston, Amy, Megan, David, Jake Group

There's Danny, Chris, Sadie, Brady, Tyler, Jessie Group

And various other people.


The thing is, if I mix and match any of these groups... say, have Chris hang out with the squad, he notices I'm different.   But... I know there's got to be a core base of WHO I AM that moves from group to group.

So, here's why I write this.  Leave a comment, send an email, (Kikastrophe@gmail.com) message me on FB. ETC.

Tell me, in your opinion, who I am. 




*glares at David Sharp*  I expect a 2 page essay, double spaced.

  P.S. Check out my 101 in 1001  and see how I'm doing!

I am actually in the same spot as you, ironically. Except, I'm still in a relationship, and I'm not sure if I'm too dependent on him.
I think our standards, values and our opinions are who we are. How we REACT to things, that's who we are. And I think that's who you are. You and I are much the same in reactions. Willing to defend what we love, but in time we're willing to try and mend any broken stones in our path. We desire, seek, and hunger for harmony and friendship, or any relationship of any sort that is an example of our ability to be happy with things in life, and all that is around us.

I haven't met you in person, but I know that you and I are similar. I mold to the personalities I'm around, too. It's kind of instinct. We automatically adjust to the environment as a way to ensure comfort for everyone. And in that instinct, comes comfort for ourselves too.

I know that I'm serious with a group of people, and then I'm spiritually deep and connected with another. I'm humorous, and always sarcastic with one group. We all do it.

The changing being is a pure example of an open mind, open heart, and is the proof that you are open to new possibilities, and opinions. That's not a bad thing.

I wondered how long it would be before this showed up.

Honestly you probably change who you are depending on what you are comfortable with,and what expectations you feel like you have placed on you.

it can take years to just figure out who you are, and be happy with it. You've just taken a step in the right direction. Good for you.

I'll see what I can do! ;D

Just remind me.
