An Introduction to Myself

This is who I am. Don't be afraid to remind yourself that you are still growing and learning. Don't be afraid to see yourself change.

I've decided to tell you, the reader, about myself. For what reason? That is a great question that doesn’t really have an answer. But I do know that I felt that it's always good to remind yourself of who you are. I first wrote this during my senior year in high school, and if you have read my post “What High School Taught Me," you know I was a good student who got along with everyone. But sometimes it's not about who you are around or to other people, it's about who you are to yourself. It is good to see that I was honest with myself. However, I will say that I’ve definitely changed, for the better...I think. One thing that I want people to get out of this is that it's OK to think you are someone, but it's even better to KNOW that you are someone. I spent so much time in a small bubble, where I would keep to myself, and that's OK, because they day I broke free from it, I never looked back. So this is an introduction to myself.

I could tell you what I can do, but instead I'm going to tell you who I am. I am racially mixed with black and hispanic culture. I feel as if I am a very fun and happy person, but I then find myself serious. Like everything in this world, I have a reason as to why I am the way I am. Fortunately, I have allowed my reasonings and my past to affect my life in a positive way. It is why I try to play sports, be active, be social, work hard, and live life to the fullest because at any moment it could be gone.

As stated before, I feel and think I am a happy-go-lucky person, 24/7. I think that I see life on the positive side, and take it with ease. I think that I am not easily affected and pass everything off as a joke. I also think that I can take an insult or a joke about me and that I'm mentally and emotionally strong.

Of course I think I'm this and that, but I wish I could be better. I wish I could be slimmer. I wish I had 20/20 vision and I didn’t need glasses. I wish I didn’t have a gap in between my teeth, even though it is small and unnoticeable to others. I wish that I didn’t have stretch marks or scars from the scabs I've picked and scratched. I wish I was as strong as people perceive me to be, but I'm not.

However, while I wish I was and think I am a certain way, this is how I really am. I am easily affected by some, but not most, insults or jokes made towards me. I'm not happy all the time, but that's OK because not everything is going to be smile worthy. I am chubby, and I do have stretch marks and scars. It's OK because I've learned to accept them, and love myself even more. I live in the past because the past pushes me to excel in my future. I love who I am.

Despite what people may think or say about me, I still know who I am. I have many flaws, but what human doesn’t? I don’t have the perfect body or teeth, but they are apart of me. They make me, me and nobody can tell me different. I am who I am. I love who I am. I love being me.
