Who are you?

I watched a YouTube video the other day and at the end she talked about really thinking about the question "who are you?". And not where you work or your hobbies or your education or the outcome to buzzfeed quizzes or what your Netflix que says about you. Just who are you? I loved this and I've really been thinking about it recently. In interviews you are often asked "Tell me about yourself?". Usually you'd answer in a way that made you seem like a good candidate. Maybe work experience and your personality traits that make you a good employee and likeable. I bet you haven't been asked (or at least not often) who are you without feeling like there is a right or wrong answer. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever been asked. So I'm asking myself who are you? 

I am an artist but I can be lazy. I'm kind but I come off cold usually on purpose as a defense mechanism. I am an optimistic worrier. I often feel like I have more thoughts than words. I am emotional and I am self conscious, but between my own pride and confidence I won't show you that. I believe in myself and my strength. I am ambitious but question myself particularly, if I have the ability to succeed creatively. I am faithful. I am outgoing but sometimes I just want to be a turtle. Despite my faults I like who I am. 

And that is who I am. 

Now, I'm asking you. Who are you? 

I encourage you to really meditate on that and answer that question today. No right or wrong. 

Are you who you want to be?
