Day #7: Who Am I?

The challenge was to ask ourselves who we are. My life is full of change right now being a newly single mom going through a divorce, living on my own for the first time and taking time for myself to learn who I really am. Who am I? With incredible pride, I will tell you. 

I’m a complex person who wants to be simple. I am experiencing most of life for the first time after 12 years of marriage. I’m becoming independent and strong. I am someone who will cry if you cry because I can physically feel your sadness or your extreme happiness. It’s either empathy or that my body works on a whole other level.

I’m a mom of a 7-year old who questions every single decision I make for fear of making the wrong one and not giving my son the best chance at life. I am a person who falls in love so hard but can tire of the same thing for too long. Commitment is something I struggle with.

I’m an idea-addict and someone who won’t say “no” to trying something new. I’m inspired by other strong women and aspire to be exactly that kind of person. I can sell pretty much anything if I believe in it. I’m massively competitive and find it impossible to turn down a dare. I have FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) so I try to keep up on everything and very rarely stay home. Deep down, I’m a homebody. Holidays are more than a love for me, they are a passion. I would theme my entire life if it wasn’t weird.

I’m a super-nerd and get excited about technology, websites, coding, graphic design and almost all things online. I feel like sleeping is weak because if I stay up, I can get more done yet I’m the first one to drift off at night with the TV on. I am someone who will be quiet in the background when you first meet me but then won’t shut up once we get to know each other. I have to survey a situation and read the room before taking over.

I am growing and learning about who I am and am feeling extremely open to becoming someone I’m not completely familiar with. I obsess over the little things and am a neat freak…on my own time.

Who are you?
