I am not…

how much money I make.
how successful I am at work.
what my house and car look like.
what I wear.
how much I weigh.
how pretty/ugly I feel at the any given moment.
how well I sing or play piano.
how quickly I am improving those skills.
how well I lead.
any title, or lack thereof.
people’s opinions of me - even when they’re good.
people’s opinions of me – even when they’re bad.
how many friends I have.
how often I see/call/text/email those friends.
how often those friends see/call/text/email me.
my marital status.
whether or not I cook or clean.
how often I cry.

I am not defined by the external.
I am not the sum of my insecurities.
I am not afraid of my weaknesses, OR of my strengths.
I am not obligated to other people’s opinions and expectations.
I am not the same person I was a year ago, or a month ago, or even yesterday.
