The question that have been trying to answer is: "What kind of woman am I?". However when I started to type it the burning question seemed to be too small. I think that it is more important to answer what kind of person. This is a bigger question. Sometimes I think that it is harder being a woman, other times I can only assume that it is harder being a man.
So what kind of person am I?
This is really hard to answer. I can list a number of things that I am and I do and a number of things that I am not and that I cannot do. This does not answer the question, it just seems to be an attempt to inflate my ego. That is not what this post is about.
Does where I am influence what kind of person I am? I think that it does. If I was in a country where we were not so "lucky" then I would face different challenges and have different successes, and this would change the kind of person I am.
Do my family influence what kind of person I am? I think that they do. I have been blessed to be born into a family who I love and who love me. At times I don't understand them and know that they feel that they sometimes don't understand me. I know that they will always be there for me. They may question what I am doing when I am doing something they are unsure of, but I can count on their support for any little thing that I may need.
Do my friends influence what kind of person I am? I think that they do. I think that who I am also influences the friends that I have. I think that I might be different things to different people, as different people mean different things to me. I wonder what similarities my friends would provide in the above question. I also wonder at the differences that they would present.
Does what I do for a job influence what kind of person I am? I think that it does. My job and the satisifaction that I get from it is a large part of my life. I am sure that good days and bad days have an influence on the kind of person that I am on those days.
Do my dream and goals influence what kind of person I am? I would hope so. These dreams and goals are the things that I am working towards becoming, doing or seeing. Perhaps they influence more the person that I am going to become and have a lesser effect on the kind of person I am now.
Do my experiences influence what kind of person I am? I would say they do. I am what I am now because of the things that I have done. Without my history I am like a new born baby with no past and infinite futures.
This does not answer my question:
What kind of person am I?
