Me, Myself, and Whatever

Just random thoughts about me and my life...

ReMiX

What if I remix my life?
I could change the way I dress. I could change the way I talk. I could change the way I walk. I could change the way I wear makeup. I could find a new job. I could live in a new place. I could have a different room mate, or none, or lots. I could listen to different music. Do different things for entertainment. I could eat different things. I could do all kinds of things differently.
What if I remix my life?
I would not be me.

    what defines who we are? is it what we wear, or how we look? Is it what we like or dislike? Who we associate with? Is it what we say? Or is it internal? What we think and feel? what defines who we are? what do you think?

    I think it is a combination of all of them. What I think and feel is on the inside, but it relates to how I act, talk, and look on the outside. There are some things that I suppress, (of course...) but I think that if I would change everything about me on the outside, I would feel like I was not reflecting the person who I am on the inside. I guess maybe I should have put more in there, but it was just a random thought at first. Now of course, I have put more thought into it, and it still makes sense in my head. (Of course this does not mean it works for everyone.) Anyways, hope that explains it a little bit.

    Very often what we wear or how we look is more a reflection of what we want to be (an aspiration: my weekend not-so-casual party clothes) or what we are suposed to be (a social convention: my rest-of-the-days suit) than what we really are. And If your get to mix those two parts (exterior and interior) in one (my home clothes) your are really, really lucky.

    Well said. I still think that the appearance that we choose to present (not necessarily the one required by the dress code at work) is more reflective of the person you are. Your dreams and aspirations are part of that as well, but not the whole of the person. Sometimes we might throw in a bit of want with what we are right now, but it is still a representation of who you are as a whole.

    change also defines us. embrace change. adapt. it's part of who we are. be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

    "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." That's a great quote!!! And I agree about the change: it's a part of us as it is a part of life. Sometimes is hard and sometimes is great. But always is.

    Great thoughts everyone! I don't think I will be making any drastic changes... maybe just whatever comes along in the course of life!

    Laura: I'm sure you will have quite a few changes with that!!!

    That is true... but it will be a natural, progressive change, not a suddent dramatic one.
