FiguringOutWhoIam

Who am I?

Do you ever wonder who you are? I mean you know your name, where you were born, who your family members are etc but who are you?

I found myself thinking about this statement on the drive to work today. I am alot of things.
  • Daughter (Granddaughter, Daughter-In-Law)
  • Sister
  • Mother
  • Friend
  • Lover
  • Employee
  • An EX (LOL)
But really....who am I? So many things make up our lives and in turn make us the person we are today. Can you change history? Does your DNA have to be who you become?

I think you can break the chain.....but you have to be willing to make the tough choices to do so.
I had to change everything about my history of growing up to be a better parent than I had. I had to work harder and smarter so I wasn't poor as an adult like I was as a child. I had to learn to  love differently as an adult because love wasn't shown to me as a child. I even had to break away from most of my family to make these changes. It wasn't easy.....somedays I still struggle. I did it though. I am better then where I came from. I BROKE the chain.  I was lucky enough to have AMAZING great grandparents. Although they passed away when I was ten it still gave me enough time to learn life can be good. Sure I made mistakes I still do. But I fight the good fight of life....and doing it right this time.

My only armor left is my weight......and this time......I'm determined to put down my armor.
