Who are you?

in #who7 years ago (edited)

While I'm not comfortable telling you my name I will tell you a few things. I am a teenager who lives in the U.S... I have a lot of pets (5 cats, 2 dogs, 1 snake, 2 guinea pigs, and some pet mice). I go to high school with a ton of other teenagers, and along with them, I am just a fish in this sea of 7.5 billion other people who live on this planet we call home.

Who are you? Three words that many people answer with their name, position, etc. But do we really know who we are? If you think about the question, it can potentially be a difficult question to answer. But what if like those three words, you answer the question with three more words- I don't know.

Is it okay to not know who you are? What you want to be? Some of my friends probably would answer no, saying that you know who you are, "Your [insert name]."

Who you are is not defined by the name you did not choose to have, the gender you may not even want to be, or the person you are or were. It doesn't matter who other people say you are, or who they think you are. Some people know who they are and what they want to do with their lives. But does anyone ever say "It's okay to not know who you are."? Well if not I’m here to tell you that it is okay. Be confused with yourself, wonder what you're​ supposed to do in this life. We're human, not perfect as everyone says. So be human, and not know who you are.

Welcome to steemit @queen.xcx. Steemit is a platform that needs a lot of navigating and swimming :D

That coming from a teenager, you have wisdom and understanding. Knowing yourself is a continuous process.

Very good! I agree with what you say. I hope you have a great day. All of my love to you and yours.

Want to meet a couple of cool people? Check out @adelepazani. she's an artist. Also check out @toresto. Also an artist in his on right. Two super good people. Also @iamjadeline... a mom and awesome person. @tillysfamilyfarm.... good homegrown people like us. There's so many more too. That's a start though.

Have you saw the game I'm playing with my friends? It's a good one.

I just saw it. I think it's a wonderful idea!

Did you see that @leeart found you?

Yes I did. I liked his strategies.

I see you picked up on the fact he was a he. 😂

Haha! I'm liking your friend already unlike you who was fooled lol!

welcome to the sea of many :)

You know what? I think I am going to love your posts. You seem to have a wisdom and insight beyond your years.
I am pretty old myself. I think many go their whole lives just reacting never looking inside to even explore the depth of who they are or could be. Maybe people are just busy no time to contemplate. Maybe most just don't speak of it much.
Now that you made me think about it I wonder if many people think much about what is really inside, beyond the public persona.

Welcome and good luck! It is a roller coaster, but it is just a ride so hang on and have fun!

Thank you!!

I forgot to say welcome 🎈
Keep posting and I will follow along and keep reading. I am fascinated by learning about people. Peeling the layers to see who is really inside.
Here is a link to all kinds of smileys you can put in your posts.

I think your introduction will be more noticeable if you use the tag introduceyourself as the first tag. And also by adding pictures about yourself.
Hope this helps.
Welcome to steemit @queen.xcx
Enjoy steeming!

I wanted to see if staying anonymous makes a difference on how people interpret my work. I didn't think about using that tag, so I think I'll give it a try. Thank you for all of the advice, I really appreciate it!
