I'm a joyful woman who likes nature, music & shiny things...
(and a whole lot of other stuff, but that's the gist of it.)
 
Lynn, been thinking about this, and i'm far too verbose to do it in a sentence.

No fear of bears, maybe? lol

"Peel back all of the laughter and smiling
Let your emotions have the day off
So you can see what's underneath it all
Take away the people, the ones you depend on
Remove your successes and the empires you've built
Swallow your pride and tear down the walls
And reality will unfold and the truth is told


When no one is watching
It's just you and the wind
When the masquerades are over
Who are you then
Take a look inside your heart
Cause whatever remains is
Who you really are"
~Ronnie Freeman


"Who are you" can be a scary question, because a lot of people don't know who they are, and a good few of them use the wrong measurement to determine who they are. To increase who they think they are, or avoid thinking about who they are, people will:
Do anything to advance their careers;
Do anything to fill every waking moment with entertainment;
Do anything to find a spouse to give them some identity;
Pickle themselves in alcohol or drugs to chase the question away;
Or sometimes even kill themselves when they realize they have no idea who they are or why they should be here. No I'm not being facetious.

As the song says, when you take away what you have done, who you know, all the social trappings and achievements... what remains is who you are.

So who are you?
 
I'm not sure who I am as I'm constantly reinventing myself.
Even if you are reinventing yourself you are, right now. You may still have a becoming, but you are right now. Who are you?

(And, yeah. That's the problem I'm having. Who I see myself as doesn't fit into the traditional answer to that.)
 
I am a person who values honesty, creativity and a sense of humor.

Actually, that sounds a lot of like you, Lynn.
Aw, honest. Wasn't fishing for a compliment.

Best I got so far is I'm a South Philly urban-gardener and teddy bear story teller, but since I'm trying to sell a teddy bear book, it sounds like that's it for my life.
 
Depending on the person, that can be kind of a scary question to ask, actually.
You're the person. And you're free to describe anything that tells something of your life, except what's been mentioned. Not deep confession time. I take it as things I'm passionate in doing. (Except most the stuff I'm passionate about is somewhere between deadly-dull or weird to most people. lol)
