What defines you?

Two days ago I attended my bible study. To get us started, we usually answer an ice breaker. Sometimes they're silly, sometimes they pertain to what we will be reading later. Anyway, the question that was asked for this week was: What defines you?

As a typical introvert, I prefer to go near the tail-end of everyone's responses. Or not go at all if no one catches me. But it was interesting to listen to what people had to say.

"Traveling and the outdoors."

"The beach."

"My major."

"My family."

"My heritage."

Eventually, it was pointed out that I hadn't said anything and it was now my turn. I had a hard time coming up with something, though.

I mean, we as a human being are complex. How do I answer that question with just a few words? I am a sum of all of my parts. I am a daughter, a sister, a Christian, a college-student, a writer, an introvert and I am

me.

My name is what sets me apart from everyone else and it encompasses all of the qualities that make up who I am.

I define myself.

P.S. I hate to be that one person who talks about the weather, but is anyone else feeling the "January Blahs"? (I'm not sure if that's a real term, but just roll with it.) I'm so tired of the bitter cold and the wind and the snow flurries. I think that after New Year's Day, it should stop snowing.

I guess that's what I get for living in Michigan.

It's a love-hate relationship. I'm not a big fan of the winter, but I do like having four seasons.

I'm ready for spring, though. Anyone else?
