Ask anyone this and they'll respond one of two ways.
1. "My name is (insert name here), nice to meet you."
or
2. "I work/study/do (insert job/action here)."
Is that really who you are? You are what your name is, or what you do? That's how most people take the question unless they're asked to dig further into themselves to find the true answer. What are you; what makes you you?
I'm going to begin this with who I am now. I am selfish. I'm a lover, a friend, and a student. I love and I hate, I worry and I overthink. I am smart. I am weak. I am an artist. I'm hungry for a wealth of knowledge. I spend too much time on the Internet. I spend too little time with my family, and even less time with God. I unconsciously judge, and then consciously fend it off. I joke around. I sing in the shower when no one's home and sing even more obnoxiously in the car. I have friends and family who love me. I have a job I don't really like. I'm monetarily poor but rich in the important things.
These are the things that make me who I am, and this is only a small list. This list will change and grow with me in this journey. So I encourage you to ask yourself the same question, who are you?
