Who Are You?
Do you ever wonder why you are the way you are? Why do you react to situations in certain ways? What makes you happy? What makes you tick? Everybody is different, obviously. We get that way from the way we are raised, where we grew up, our family, friends etc…but to me that doesn’t explain it enough. I had a relatively similar experience to both of my brothers growing up, but we are nowhere near the same.
So, we all ended up at U of I (different majors), we all still live in Chicago, we love our technology, we share the same type of humor, and we have other insignificant things in common. I would argue that my oldest brother is the most generous, intelligent, and mature out of the 3 of us. My middle brother maintains these qualities, but he is more creative and adventurous with his lifestyle. How did one brother become an accountant and one an artist? We are so similar, but different at the same time. I’m always looking for the reasons why things are a certain way, but some things will always be left unanswered…
Do you think you truly understand yourself? Do you think it’s possible to be happy until you do? Part of growing up and maturing is finding answers to these questions and figuring out who you are. It might take some people more time than others, but ultimately, if you try hard enough, you’ll get there.
