All The Things You Are Not and What You Are

All The Things You Are Not and What You Are

You are not your age,
Nor the size of clothes you wear.
You are not a weight,
Nor the colour of your hair.
You are not your name,
Nor the dimples in your cheeks.
You are the books you read,
And the words that you speak.
You are the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you have cried.
You are the<b> songs </font></b>you sing so loudly,
When you think you are alone.
You are the places you have been ,
And the ones that you call home.
You are the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love.
You are the photos in your bedroom,
And the future that you dream of.
You are the person you see in the mirror,
and the one who smiles back at you.
You’re made of so much beauty,
But it seems that you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you’re not.

------Amy Rees Anderson

The most important person we have to answer to is ourselves

Concur.

Assess and reassess. Acknowledge our capacity for change as well as its conscious and unconscious drivers.

I define myself by what's in my head and in my heart. That allows me to take those surface descriptions and ... redefine them.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Yes, the adage that ‘actions speak louder than words’ has a lot of merit.

The words resonated with me and I felt they were worth sharing. My city is mostly shutdown. Our government is drafting new guidelines to address how they will re-open the economy. No specific dates yet.

I agree that we each need to define ourselves and not base it on arbitrary, societal norms. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Change and redefining ourselves is important. I know today, I am not the person I was 20 years ago. Dr. Seuss adds the necessary dose of reality.

I've been paying attention to the small "victories" over the course of the day and find myself so much more grateful for all that I do have when so many have literally lost everything. I hope you're staying well sexyldy!

Many will like me for who I am, what I believe, what I do and how I do it; many will hate me for the same reasons; most don’t know me at all. I am comfortable with who I am and grateful for those who call me friend

Our country has seen so much heartache and sadness recently, that it's important to think about what we do have. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your perspective.

Sounds like you have a good handle on who you are and how others perceive you.

How do I define myself?
I don't.
Words and labels constrain and confine my expectations. So... I try not to think about it; otherwise, I'll go fricken crazy before my time.
I'll eventually evolve onto something... someone... incomplete - on my last day on this planet.

Labels are often artificial and defined by someone else’s standards. I don’t think anyone is ever ‘complete’. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your perspective.

I know who I am and some days I may not like who I am but it's up to me to see the day through without making some giant hurtful error and get up the next day to the same me with a new attitude and some flowers

What am I?
Right now I'm defined as ; 'One of those New Yorkers, stuck in the Bronx... staring at four walls, wondering if this thing will ever pass'.
Interesting question. I'll probably have a better perspective after THIS is all over.

Nothing much to say.

We hear about just how difficult it is for the residents of New York as well as all of the U.S. Makes me grateful to live where I do and for how our government is handling things. I think everyone will be forever touched and changed when things eventually return to ‘normal’. Thanks for stopping by.
