Finding youself

in #life6 years ago

Let's say you are out with friends and you meet a potential significant other, and inbetween questions one asks the other -Tell me about yourself, Who are you?

It seems like a simple question, doesn't it? i mean sure there are millions of posible answers to that question and in my case i tend to look at it in a philosophical way but it's almost impossible to respond.

Or at least thats what i used to believe.

One way to answer the question is to say your name or where you are from, what and where you studied, you know... facts about you but ... does that really answer the question?

I believe there is no real answer to a question like that, we all have our time periods to find the answer, some of us make take a lifetime to find the answer, some may find it in their teenage years and its also possible we may never find the proper answer to the question. I guess what im trying to say is that each individual person needs to find their own answer to it. i mean everysingle one of us is different to the other, we may have similiraties but we definitively have our uniqueness. maybe it's in the way we smile, or maybe it's our talent in telling a joke that makes us unique. if you think of somebody else and what makes them unique, you could have a hard time finding the answer or it may just be instant, if we focus enough and think of someone, you may find in others the answer.

For example we all have that friend that cant take a joke and gets mad at the world for nothing, and that's a general stereotype, there is no uniqueness in that, but then again our perception makes that friend unique because there was one particular situation where that friend said or did something that noone would have guessed could happen.

Do you get it? the answer is the sum of everything, is what the world looks and thinks you are, its what you say and do to others and most importantly, is what you think you are. If you think hard enough and motivate yourself enough you can become anything you believe you are or want to be.

And yes a name and lastname might suffice because it's simple once you understand, we are who we are.

I guess what i'm really trying to say is that everybody is unique and people react differently to a situation given, we shouldn't worry if a particular action wasn't like us because you thinking that msitake or problem or defect is also a part of who you are and without them then we wouldnt have learned and we couldnt have grown out of it. So its also a matter of who you are in a particular timeframe, i know im not the same guy now that who i was back in 2015 and hopefully will become a better person in the future than who i am today.

People are the summit of it all, our experience, our knowledge, the place we were born in, the people that soround us and so many things more.

Lets just have some more fun, lets make the most out of our situation and hopefully enjoy the world while we are in it.
