When I think about myself, I think about many different things. Personally, I feel as if my “brand” is quite unique compared to many. There are many characteristics about me that make me so unique, just like everyone else. For me to look at myself and to truly judge myself, I feel like overall, I am not a terrible human being. I always try to live my best life and make the people around me live their best life as well, most of the time that is. A life lived without happiness, is no life lived at all.
I like to think of myself as being a very cheerful and kind person. I always love hearing a good joke, even if the situation does not necessarily fit the script. Making at least one person smile or laugh is my everyday goal. I always think that if you do not bring joy into another person’s life, at least once a day, then you are not doing your job as a proper human being. I view life as too short to be so blue and depressed, or to even go down the path to make someone else feel such a way. A question I always ask myself before I do anything is, “how and who will this affect someone I know?” When I know I did something to make someone feel negatively about me, I usually try to fix the situation, or do the simple solution and apologize. I simply like to be friends with almost everyone and like to do my own thing.
A large trait that makes me who I am, is that I love to be there for people when they are going through tough times. Throughout my lifetime, I have had many bad life experiences that have completely changed how I view my life. So, many times I like to sit down and have a conversation with someone who is going through tough times and try to see if there are any ways, I could possibly help them. I always try to help them to see the positive in any problem they are having. Kindness and understanding is always a resolution to a problem.
