When someone first looks at me I am sure we do not share the
same thoughts about myself but I could hope that then can see past all the
grease and want to know me for who I really am. Althought I sometimes struggle
in knowing and understanding who I am at times, I like to think I am the person
that is a friend whom you know you can trust with any secrets and am ready at any
time for you to call and want to hang out.
Understanding – I
would choose understanding because it is a word that is very univerible in
certen terms. The way I would use it is that I am a good listener and that I go
out of my way to try and understand what someone is explaining. I try to relate
so that I can get as close to the first person feeling as I can. I always try
and dig deeper when listening to the person talk about something. I ask to help
me understand and as well help them release anything that may be holding them
back. In the same sense as listening I am trying to make sure that I make it
understood that I will keep this between me and that person I am talking to. They
say secrets kill but then what doesn’t?
Thinking – I am a
thinker. I want to know as much about something as I can. I want to know how it
works why it works that way. I want to be able to take it apart and be able to
build it that way myself. I want to rebuild it and make it better. I thrive in
understanding anything I can.
Careless - I am
careless. I procrastinate till I know something needs to be done. However I do
this to the sense that I try not to stress something beyond what it is actually
worth. I live in the moment. I do not plan into my future. I do not try to
stress what has not happened yet because I do not want to worry about what may
never happen. I will say that I do wonder about the “ifs” and I do wonder about
what will happen next but I try and avoid it because I know the lord will
provide. I have enough faith in him that I do not stress my future very much. Most
people say this is stupid and careless but it has worked for me so far.
I would
not be able to do this without all of the writing I have done this semester in
creative writing. I do not say that in the sense that I want Mrs. Slagle to
have a big head but I actually learned all of this about myself while writing
for my future
