Over the course of the past couple of year, I know I have taken a different look at myself. I\u2019m sure many have done the same. And part of it is also how you look at others you are close with \u2026 and how that defines you as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess, honestly, the answer is I have no idea who I am.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do know, though, that I\u2019ve changed. Mostly, I think, for the good. There are some parts that I don\u2019t particularly like, and I\u2019m working on that as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alas, we\u2019re all human.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one thing I\u2019ve really changed about myself in recent years is where I want to be \u2013 geographically. I had always wanted to be in a mid-size city, or right on the outskirts. But as I get older, I like being in the smaller town, especially with how things can be in the current state of affairs. It\u2019s peaceful. It\u2019s calm. Well, for the most part. And, at the same time, if I need to get somewhere, I can get there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m more simple in my tastes now, too. Getting a dog has helped with that aspect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s some reality, too. As we grow older, we start wrestling with morality. We all know our time on Earth is limited, so we need to make the most of it. How one does it rests solely on what they deem is important. The changes in life we\u2019ve had to deal with in the past couple of years puts a lot of things into perspective. At least for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So in the end\u2026 I\u2019m just me. Who I am gets redefined each day \u2026 and hopefully it\u2019s always for the best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How about you? Who are you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post is part of the 2022 20 Days of Chill Writing Challenge hosted by A \u2018lil HooHaa.
