these days im not sure many people know what their true identity is
- people feel such peer pressure today to fit in
- the media (especially social media) has such influence
- self confidence is low
Honestly, there isn't much I can discuss about this topic. I mean you either choose to have your own identity or you choose to follow the crowd.
However, I also believe people can look in the mirror and choose to see that at as their identity. If I haven't stressed it enough already, what you see on the outside of you is NOT your identity . Sure, when people first meet you that is what they first see. How you dress, if you wear perfume or aftershave, whether your hair is styled or freshly cut and highlighted, just the way you present yourself is overall a big thing and yes it is important. I always like to have my hair highlighted regularly and I have been wearing the same perfume since I was 14. This means a lot to me as it shows I care about my appearance . I care about taking care of myself. That is why you should want to look 'nice' - to take care of yourself!
Your identity is your purpose. Your identity is your passion. Your identity is your personality.
Okay, so its okay not to know your purpose right away, but there must be something you believe you are here to be purposeful for. For example. I know I have a gift in writing , I also know I have a gift in listening . Find your strengths and gifts and that is your purpose.
My passion. I have a passion for equality . For the justice system . For women . For cultures , races and religions. This is why I want to study criminology and sociology at university. To learn about how to create an equal society.
My personality , I asked the people closest to me to describe me in 3 words. The words that came up most were , caring, determined ,bubbly , passionate , creative, loving and vibrant.
There you have it. A purpose, A passion, A personality An identity .
Go out and find yours. Its not your looks , the way you dress or the way you sound. It is a reaction of those three things together.
So if you are struggling with identity - look at those.
lots of love anna-ruby xx
