So I ask -- "Who is 'you'?" Define yourself; or don't. Are you a New Yorker? A person who just moved to the land of Colorado filled with cannabis? Are you a disorder? A teenager? Who are we? Besides being the humans that walk this earth, the definition of who we are as individuals is a crucial answer to those trying to figure it out.
I was asked, “Who is ‘me’?”. When writing an article and setting up a title, the words that you use are crucial to what the article says and speaks about you. So instead of saying “What life is like to me”, I should try “What life is like to a Millennial” or “What life is like to a girl with trust issues”. Instead of saying ‘me’, replace the word ‘me’ with what identifies you in that moment. I struggle with that, you see. I don’t know who ‘me’ is. I don’t know how to define myself, I don’t really know who myself is. I write articles about things people can relate to. I write about these life experiences that I have never experienced to write my advice on something I know so little about. I feel all these emotions within me. Who is me? Happy? Sad? Depressed? Is ‘me’ lost? I think I may be lost, but I know where I am. I don’t think I know where I am going. I am unsure of what my next step is going to be. Maybe it is to get up and do something. Or, to not waste time sitting on a couch writing about these emotions, instead going out and actually living in them. I want ‘me’ to be the one everyone wants to be around. The book that is hard to read. Where you want to flip the pages of ‘me’ to see what is my next move, my next word or action. We all want things though, don’t we. We all wish we could say f*ck it and block the emotions we wish to not feel. Life doesn’t work that way, and life's a b*tch. Life is the biggest curse and blessing in which we were all lucky enough to experience, and still be experiencing.
I just want to have a completely wild, adventurous, spontaneous, passionate, and weird life. And I do. I also wish and want to share that with my best friend. I want to let someone read my book of who ‘me’ is. I want this best friend to know I am me, whoever ‘me’ is. I don’t want to be identified. I don’t want to be categorized as a “funny girl”, “sweet” or “rude”. I can’t have people knowing me for this one word. I do not want to allow whoever ‘me’ is to affect what people think. I like adventure, I like love, I like happiness. I want love, happiness, and adventure. I seek happiness, adventure, and love. I am lost while looking. But, while looking I can find out 'me', meet them, and we (me and myself) grow together and figure it all out. I am still looking for who 'me' is. I still don't know. I am an American, a millennial, a lover and friend. But, I am more than a one worded, simplified topic of discussion.Whoever 'me' is to you, go be them. Go be the 'me' you are searching fr, go look to see who 'me' is. One word cannot define you, and it doesn't have to. Live, love, laugh, explore, adventure, create your own 'me'.So I am asked, "Who is 'me'?" Well, that is for my knowledge and for you to be lucky enough to discover and know.
Xoxo,
Me
