I was reading a post made by my friend Melissa and she stated that someone asked her 'what she was' upon seeing her at work. Melissa does wear darker makeup, and jewelery that most people would see as Goth. The question the woman asked was What are you?, this got me thinking. Do the things we like as in fashion, music, art really say 'what we are'? I think our interest, likes, dislikes, beliefs, and life experiences all make up who we are... but what we are??? Isn't what we are best answered by: I am a mother, sister, daughter, friend, Christian, non believer, artist, or any other adjective that you want to place in there? I am asking you because I am not sure I fully understand the woman's question and would like to explore it further.
*begins to ponders what she is*
I think if someone asked me that question, I would answer with.. I am a mother, a Christian, a democrat, a wood finisher, an artist.. I would have a harder time answering WHO I am. I mean all of the things I have listed make up who I am but since they are so personal just saying I am a Christian does not really tell you who I am. For example religion is very personal, put 25 Christians in a room together and they may believe in all different types of things and the same goes with Pagans. Therefore it is harder to explain who you are this way. Have I confused you yet? lol I think I am confusing myself at this point. Grrrrrrr.
Oh I came a cross a new vampire themed book series. When I say new, I mean new to me of course. You can see the author's page for more details Claudia Gray. I was putting books away at work and found the first one titled Evernight and was intrigued. I plan to see if the library has the first book. *adds that task on her to do list* .... Crap! I just checked and they do not have it. *sighs* I guess I will have to buy it next week on payday. I still want to read the Wicked series also. Maybe I will make a list of books I want to read and place them on the right hand side under Currently Reading. Ya, that's what I'll do make a Plans to Read listing, that could end up being a long list!
Meme time.
