In various profiles, facebook, applications, online registrations, there always seems to be the question, "Who are you" or "Describe yourself" or "about me:".
So, it got me to thinking about who am I. My standard answer is, "I am just me being the me that I am". I like that statement. It's SO me!!! I suppose that doesn't really help others much, when they wish to know, "who is Susan and what is she all about".
I suppose I could list some qualities I believe are accurate, that feels kinda like being on 'match.com' or a personals site. (example: multi-faceted, quiet and conservative at times, outgoing at times, reserved yet open-minded, loves to laugh, friendly.. and yes sometimes shy)
But does that accurately describe me? ME? Hmm.. it's almost like advertising or being a sales person. If I am funny, will you like me now? If I am conservative and believe what you believe, am I acceptable now? If I am outgoing, do I get to join your clique/club?
What I've learned is to be genuine, to operate with integrity and to embrace my multi-faceted self. I think who and what one is, is an ongoing and evolving process. Who we might be today, isn't necessarily who we might be tomorrow.
So generally, I suppose the simplest answer is, "I am simply me." Along with that, a few general descriptive terms: quiet at times, loves to laugh, etc.
The simpler my life is, the easier it is to be ME.
Perhaps this really doesn't answer the question, but then again, was there even A question to be asked?
*just rambling type thoughts I felt like putting into my first 'blogger.com' blog post.*
