I like my suit, it's fwame-wesistant.
As I thought about all the things that make up who I am, I realized that it was impossibly hard to choose something that I would like to change. Every person in the world is different; everyone has a certain aspect to him or her that defines who he or she is. The more I considered this fact, the more I came to realize that I had ironically been thinking about the very thing that makes me who I am. I take pride in knowing that I am knowledgeable and comfortable about who I am. Of course, as most everyone does, I too have several small things about me that would I would like to change. For example, I procrastinate a little more than I would like to do, but I finish my tasks. Being organized is not one of my best characteristics, but I know that my wallet is in the back left pocket of the jeans under the bath towel on my floor. What I mean is that I know myself and how I operate.
I have always been the kind of person that looks for the logical solution in any problem, the logical solution in anything, really. Perhaps it is because it has always worked for me and I feel comfortable with it, but I am absolutely okay with that. It is just another brushstroke that helps paint the picture of who I am. The way my parents have raised me, the values and lessons I have learned from every mistake I have ever made, and the decisions that lead me further in life everyday are all things that have contributed to my making.
I believe everyone is painting a self-portrait, a masterpiece of him or herself. It is however, important that one confidence shines through every stroke. Where does this confidence come from? It comes from knowing yourself. Perhaps my “fwame wesistant” suit is made out of being stubborn, but I like my suit. Why change something that has worked for me? Do I want to be perfectly organized or know every stat there is to know about every professional football team? Wouldn’t that make me a little more like someone else? I like my suit. Changing it would mean changing who I am.
