Who Are You?
I Stumbled upon this Instagram post asking who you are when you take away your job, your possessions, your accomplishments, where you live, etc. I thought it was a great journal prompt and I really enjoyed my answer so I figured why not give it a share!
I am a creative mind who is fueled by sunshine. I’m often caught in my head and that head of mine is often caught in the clouds. I feel things deeply. I am a believer in the good. I am a benefit of the doubt giver. I am a little bit lost in a way that I’ve finally found acceptance with. I am home near the water. I am a lover not a fighter. I am someone who finds comfort in a pen and paper and anxiety in tougher conversations. I am the person always exclaiming how pretty the sky is, how bright the moon is and how much the stars shine. I am a helper. I’m a little bit scatter brained.
I am someone who has found acceptance with where I’ve been, where I am and where I am headed even though where I am and where I am headed aren’t something I’m always so sure of.
I really liked this prompt. It was simple, but very reflective. Coincidentally enough I have noticed in myself and in others how much we tie our work into who we are, it’s one of the reasons I think I felt a lack of purpose during quarantine. This was a nice little reflective reminder that we are all so much more than the work we do, the achievements we have or have not made, the possessions we have and the people we know. I recommend grabbing a pen and some paper and answering the question- who are you without all those strings attached?
