Who am I?

Here are some of my thoughts. We can never completely know how people see us, unless they tell us of course. We can only control their perception to a point then it's up to them. And I don't believe that our identities are made of what people can see or hear.
I think we in the western world, with a greek way of thinking of things, love to compartmentalize everything, including identity. We are so influenced by our media and "scholars", that we are uncomfortable until we can put something or someone in a neat little corner of our mind or classify it. We seem to be desperately trying to put everything we know in to some form catagory so as to market it or buy it or understand it , to mabey have control or something, I don't know.
What I do know is this; God has made us in his image, he is infinite, we are not,though there are many numerous facettes to our existance.
We all feel things differently, see things differently, respond to things differently.
Something that is almost too big to fathom, yet sounds cliche, and yet brings hope, to me anyway, is that everyone of us is UNIQUE. No one's identity can be lumped with anyone else's. There can be similarities with others but "who we are", who I am, is me.

I say all this even as i have yet to know what I want to do with my life. I have desires and interests, but alas, I always come back to the conclusion that I would get tired of doing them so i don't want to waste my time or money persueing them till I know I've found the one. To your shock and dismay being a Front End SUPERvisor isn't all that SUPER.
