Take a step back...

Look closely.

You're sure you know me. You have me pegged, right? You're so confident that you don't doubt for a second you know exactly who and what I am. You've watched me intently, picking me apart. Studying me.


You might think that:

I'm a Mom.
I'm a stress case.
I'm an EMT.
I'm a hypochondriac.
I'm the keeper of the Cheerios and soother of owwie's.
I'm a photographer.
I'm a bitch.
I'm a sweetheart.
I'm a nail biter, literally and figuratively.
I'm a horrible driver.
I'm confident.
I'm a nervous wreck.
I'm the killer of all things green.
I'm hypercritical.
I'm very laid back.
I'm too cautious.
I'm entirely too impulsive.

I could go on, but you get the idea.

Some of us spend so much time focusing on one aspect of a person that we forget to take a step back. People are more than just the sum of their parts. I'm no different. I hope you see that.

When you analyze someone so closely it's easy to miss the big picture.

Amazing post!

You are who you are - all that's important is working out who that is, for yourself!
