1. Do we find or create our true selves and how do we determine where we belong?
2. Make a connection to this. Who are you? And did you find this person or did you create this person?

it can be both! You can be put in a situation that helps you find yourself/or you can want an image so badly that you create this persona.

ReplyDelete1. I think that we could find or create ourselves. I think that if people want to be someone or something bad enough than they will keep doing the same things until they become the person that they wanted to be. I think that other people aren't sure really who they are until they're older, when your young you go through a bunch of different phases but when your older your pretty much the same person for the rest of your life and you finally discover who you are.
ReplyDelete2.I honestly don't know WHO I am right now, because I know that I am going to make a lot more changes in my life before I can finally sit down and explain to somebody who I am. I know what I WANT to be in the future, but right now I am content being a teenager :)
* I agree with you on both questions Tara. For one i said something similar and for two a lot of people do not know who they are.
ReplyDelete1)we find our selfs because of the things that we do and the things that we know and some times how we looks determines where we belong. just because of the way that we look people will put us into certin groups.
ReplyDelete2)i am the type of person who puts her mind to her dreams and follows and if i do not succeed i will keep trying. most people follow the dreams of their parents i found myself i dont follow any body elses dreams i have my own and will keep following until they are accomplished!!!!
i like what tara said because were are all going through changes and just when you think you found out who you are something comes up as a surprise and it changes you.
ReplyDelete-.I think we can find and create our true selves depending on the person and situation.Also we determine were we belong by knowing what makes you happy and complete.
ReplyDelete-.Me
I honestly think that you find your true self. You can try so hard to create your true self but in the end you end up finding your true self and realizing that the person you tryed to create is not you at all. I dont think that there is a way to find out where we belong its hard to tell. I think its hard to tell because I hang out with alot of different type of people and I can not just pick one certain group to hang out with just because I "think" I belong with them.
ReplyDeleteThe person I am was hard to find it took awhile to find the person I really truely am. I tried to create myself to be the person I thought i wanted to be. I was getting into alot of bad stuff because of the person I was trying to be. I was gang banging and doing drugs. This life that I was trying to live put in a really difficult time of life.
throughout life we are always finding and creating ourselves. we test ourselves to see our reactions and the reactions of others. The way we deal with happy, sad, chaos, f up situations builds us up little by little to who we are.
ReplyDeletei honestly agree with everyone in a way.
ReplyDeleteI think for the most part we found our true selves through life experiences and challenges. However, I do believe that we can create certain traits or beliefs for ourselves as well. Many people spend their whole lifes trying to create themselves but I think that we are who we are. We can change little things about ourselves but our time is a lot better spent trying to find ourselves rather than trying to create ourselves. Where we belong is something that I also think we find rather than create. If there is somewhere that we truly belong we will just fall into place. If we spend our lives trying to fit in somewhere or creating where we want to fit in we will never be somewhere we honestly belong.
ReplyDeleteI can't describe in words who I am. The person I am is something that I believe only I will truly ever understand. A few people have gotten to know me really well but they aren't me so I don't think that they can ever know and I don't think I can ever successfully tell them either. I found myself through the struggles and triumphs I have been through in my life. Seeing how I automatically react or deal with certain situations showed me the person who I believe to be today, and think I will be for the rest of my life.
I think that you CREATE youself, everything you do affects your past and your future, it makes you who you are. I think you find yourself when you are confortable with who you are and where your at in life. Me having a child affected my past and will affect my future, i have not found myself yet!!
ReplyDeleteI think we create ourselves, because we determine what's good and bad. Then we know how we have to be, treat others, and stuff like that. Until we become who we are. After changing so many things that weren't working out for us. We determine where we belong once we are comfortable in the environment we live in. I'm a lot of things at once. I can define myself as crazy, loyal, respectful, creative, funny, smart, sensitive, strong, problem solver, etc. etc. I'm a lot of things, but because of certain situations I've created myself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tara also because I do think she is right about the part where we dont figure ourselves out until we are adults and how she said she is just going to live her life as a teenager. I feel that I have found myself but Tara is right that i am going make alot more changes in my life that are going to make me a different person.
ReplyDeletei agree with what Rish-01 said because its similar to what i said bkuz you cant create your self with out finding your self.
ReplyDeletewe do find and create our trueselves. no one else determines that but you, we determine where we belong by looks and behavior, I hate to say it but sometimes thats the case.
ReplyDeletei am the kid of person that is really luod and can never shut up! haha I get along with alot of people. and in this case i dont think my looks determine who i am, I personally look like a stuck b**** but im really not. Im actually pretty nice :)
I think we find our true selves by creating who we want to be. Good and bad experiences test our judgement every day, and how we handle them says a lot about the person you are. You are what you make yourself and we have the ability to change what we don't like about ourselves. Once we're confortable in our skin and with our beliefes, is how we determine where we belong.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tara for the first part, because you do go through so much stuff that you change a lot. But I also disagree, because even when you are old you can still change who you are, but i don't think you change who you are, because you will always have your priorities straight, but you might change the way you act or think, because deep inside your always the same person.
ReplyDelete1) i think people find themselves and create themselves. people know who they want to be in the future because of thier heros and role models and people they look up to but they have to create themselves based on those preferances. Each person is unique and has their individual diffrences.Everyone is diffrent and needs time and experiance to create and find themselves.i think when a person gets older they have a better idea of who they are.
ReplyDelete2) im still finding and creating myself. i have an idea of who i am now but i don't know who i will be in the future because i havn't even beggan to experiance life yet. i know who i would like to be but events will change my life and myself =)
everyone is different some find their selfs and some create them selfs if they dont like who they are as a person than they have the power to change in to a better person or a way that they would like. we determine where we belongbt where we feel most comfortable.
ReplyDeleteIm a sweet person and care alot and i create the person i am because the person i was, was a selfish bitch!!!
1) i think that we find and create our selves and only we can determine that ourseolves. i think that everything happens for a reason and we either learn from it or we dont, it could change or not.
ReplyDelete2) I know where i wanna be in life and where i wanna go. i have goals for myself sand everyday i accomplish them. everyday i learn something new. "school of life"... and you learn something everyday of your life wheather you want to or not.
