I've been thinking a lot lately. Of course, I always think a lot, but it seems to have increased exponentially since I came to college. One thing I have been thinking about is change and how people change throughout their lives to become the people they are. I've been realizing some things about myself too. Then a few days ago, I had to describe myself using several adjectives for a class project. I was surprised at some of the adjectives that I have found describe me - ones I was not aware of until recently. Another thing that I have been thinking about that directly relates to the former realization is how we have the power to be who we want to be and to act in such a way as to become the kind of person we desire. So often I feel trapped by my past and even my present and I feel like that is all I can ever be. Lately, though, I have been realizing that I can change and become the person I want to be. So, to combine these two ideas, I was just thinking - what adjectives do I want to have accurately describe me? What adjectives do I want to be beside my name in that form I fill out in college? Who do I want to be?
In other words, what do you want to be written as your epitaph? (Especially since you don't always write your own - it would be whatever someone else could say about you.)
