Identity.
Self-Identity.
To me, identity is the make-up of an individual. The characteristics, the qualities, the specifics of a certain individual that makes them unique. People should want to set themselves apart from each other. Who would want to live in a world where everyone looked the same, dressed the same, acted the same, like all of the same things. One of the reasons why our world is so diverse are because differences lie within every individual in it. Being able to share one another’s interests and capabilities, hobbies, likes and dislikes is what makes this world one maginificent motropolis to live in and we should be grateful and apprecitive of such.
If I had to define myself, I would say that I am versitile and adaptable. I can really adapty myself to most any situation as well as demographic. I try to always make the best of any situation, and I know for a fact that that has helped me to successfully accomplish so much in my short thwenty-three years. I know there is a lot more for me to learn as I have a lot more life to live, but from my life experiences so far, I think the traits that I’ve adapted have served me well.
I think that identity is a little bit of who we are and who we would like to be in the future. Since many of us are still fairly young, I do think that we all have a lot more to learn about our character as young adults, but at the same time, we’ve reached an age where we can and still should be responsible for our actions and how we act, which is in a way, our character in itself. The people that we tend to spend most of our time with are the ones that help us to form our identity. Often times we tend to act a certain way, or say certain things in order to conform or adapt to the people that we’re around or the people we enjoy being around. I think that has a lot to do with modling into the kind of person you ultimately want to be, even if just for the time being.
Given time, I truly believe that one can change their identity. Once you start to notice certain traits and qualities about yourself that you find endearing and charming, maybe you will do your best to actively adapt those qualities and use them to help formulate the you that you’re hoping for. If there are qualities that you know you could work on, or have any desire to change, you can do the same in that same respect.
