Have you ever wondered what makes you, well, you? I've always been fascinated by how everyone in the world is so different. To be honest, I think it's a good thing because how boring would our world be if we were all the same? But despite that, we are all different, we are all our own person, and the things that make up who we all are is different for each of us. Attempting to describe myself seems like an impossible task, but if I were to try I would talk about qualities I possess and try to come up with words to describe my personality. No matter what these things are, it still provides no insight to who Emily really is.
I'm hard working, sincere, motivated, dedicated, committed, shy, outgoing, creative, fun, secretive, and caring--just to name a few. But what do those things truly mean? For example, I'm only dedicated to the things that I am passionate about like FFA, friends, family, horses, living life, etc. I'm shy around people I don't know, yet outgoing around the people I love. I'm creative in an artistic way. I like to draw, scrapbook, come up with news ideas for different things in my life. I'm secretive because I can actually keep a secret, which is something I find that majority of people can't do (but that's a whole new topic for another blog post). Even though I've elaborated, it's still hard to know who I truly am.
I have a very dry sense of humor and find many things that are not funny very funny. I laugh at the most random things and myself most of the time. I enjoy the simple things in life, like the sound of running water, hoof beats, violins, sunsets, beaches, being somewhere new, traveling, fall, spring, flowers, the smell of hay just to name a handful. I'm extremely laid back yet a perfectionist in the things I do. I am very hard to make mad. I complain a lot. I'm have self-confidence, but I still have insecurities.
I enjoy spending time with my two horses: Sage and Vogue. They rock my world and I've learned so much from them...I know it sounds weird, but animals teach us things. I love to read leadership, heroic autobiographies and biographies, fantasy and psychology related books. I like to work out, yet rarely seem to get around to it. I like to just be outside whether it's around a campfire, camping, going to the beach or being around my horses. I love the outdoors and I am definitely not a girly-girl when it comes to being outside.
No matter what I say to talk about myself, I don't feel like a person can truly get to know another person by just reading something descriptive about themselves. You don't know a person until you spend time with them and get to know them on a personal level so you know their quirks, habits (good or bad), body language, how they talk and how the act. But I think there is still more to it then that. I think the biggest thing that makes a person who they are is their upbringing. Was it good? Was it bad? Did they experience negative or positive events that will forever shape them? The choices a person makes also plays a role in who we all are. Our childhood, our family, our friends, our experiences, our past...all make us who we are and play a huge role in the people we become.
