"what we did today"
I actually liked what we did today, I like defining myself because I know who I am. It may sound like I don't, especially when I say this: I know who I am, I built myself, I'm proud yet...I have the hardest time expressing myself. All my life the only way I knew how to show who I am was by just bluntly saying what qyalities I have and sometimes that lead me to being judged in positive and negative ways, saying that you can tell that I don't exactly have charisma. Anyways, back to what we did today, I really liked the idea and I like knowing that facts about me and reasons behind them are inked on a wall but I had a hard time finding things about me. Since I'm not good at expressing myself I had an even harder time thinking of reasons behind why I like something. Even though it was hard for me, it was also a lot easier than usual. Today helped me feel like I actually am growing mentally and spiritually and made me realize that if I keep going the way I am ill grow to understand myself as well.

ReplyDeleteReally? I think you express yourself very well. In fact, I think you're an expert at it.
You're speaking across two things here: expressing yourself and controlling the way you express yourself. These are essentially different. You must ponder this, for I will question you about it....

I agree with Luke on expressing yourself. I've known you for some time now and it is clear that you know who you are. I think on terms with expressing yourself, you've been doing it all this time effortlessly, and when you go to think about it, you feel you haven't expressed yourself that way you would plan to conciously. The involuntary actions are the ones that truly make us who we are. And I believe thats just the prfect way to express yourself.

ReplyDeleteLearning to understand yourself truly and fully is one the best gifts you can give yourself. Knowing yourself makes it easier to be and express you.

ReplyDeleteYou express yourself by just being you. The way you speak to others, the way you work, and the way you treat people. It may not seem like your expressing yourself, but you are! You express who you are in different ways. Expressing personality, is different from expressing talents.
