Thinking while blogging, people can’t be defined

In thinking of all the ways I classify myself, I also think of how I choose to reveal only certain aspects of who I feel I am to different people. I believe I try to read the person I’m talking to in search of how much they can handle. And then there are situations or places where I put on a certain persona to everyone I see there. The reasons vary from wanting to fit in, ideciding if it’s socially acceptable in the particular environment, sharing my personal life on a need to know basis etc. Even though I may have 15 personas (just a random guess), I like to think that I am not lying to anybody about who I am.

It is all me. Every one of my masks if you will is non-judgemental, compassionate, caring, sensitive, unconfident and spiritual.

People really can’t be defined according to groups they identify with. People are very complex (as we well know). Can we ever really completely know a person? Do we even really completely know ourselves? I think we hope to keep learning ourselves and I know that we are constantly changing according to our experiences and thoughts.

If you like a person, do you like them because of their personal qualities?

non-judgemental, compassionate, caring, sensitive, unconfident and spiritual

Or because of the groups they identify with?

What if you share 10 of the 15 groups with this friend but then suddenly find out that there are another 5 that you don’t identify with or feel are wrong?

Do you still like this person or does it change your opinion?

For every person, there would be a different answer to this question so I’m not really posing these questions. In fact I really don’t know what my point is…lol…I guess I’m just thinking out loud.

Is this thing on?

Hhhhhhmmmmmmm……Testing, testing….

Is this thing on?? Can anyone hear me???

 Hey y’all it does feel mighty good to have a freshy, new blog! I’ve been blogging for a long time but unfortunately it’s come a time to find a new blogging community and I really hope that this is the one!

Blogging is my favorite passtime and my #1 way to relax! In addition, I find it makes great therapy. I use it to talk about whatever is on my mind and it’s usually about my life as a wife, mom, teacher and pet lover.

 I hope to read many of your blogs and to find great online friends like I have in the past. I don’t know how we survived without the web! Online friends are the best kind!

So thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment so I will be sure to read your blog. I can’t wait to find out all the great things that make this blogsite special.
