Who Am I?

When someone asks, how do you reply?

Do you reply with,

What is your name?

Your age?

Your likes?

Your dislikes?

Your passions?

This question can sometimes be very hard to answer, because we are still exploring the world we live in, and even more so we do not know who we truly are.

Our answers gradually change or they stay the same.

However, our personality which defines us, speaks louder on our behath. We say words that describe us, but sometimes they hold little worth. When no one is watching, there is no pressure; we are captured in a moment and the passion begins to grow, who we are comes out and we shine bright.

Do not forget those moments because it's in those moments everything else is forgotten. We truly become us.

There is no is no shame, so we live in the moment

So my question to you is, who are you in these moments? What makes you shine and everything else disappear?

My name is Miriam Concepcion and I will answer who am I.

I am Miriam who loves to write, who can easily create at a whim. Writing is a way for me to get my thoughts out. With writing comes reading, and let me tell you, there is not one second in a day that I am not reading. To read is to be amazed by words of a person, to laugh, and to cry. I am easily captured.

I am Miriam who truly loves to give her friends hugs, because when I give hugs it feels peaceful. They say that hugs are magical; that they make someone happy, they they make you forget the past and sometimes even stop the present.

I am Miriam the positivity. I'm always the person who will pick you up. When you are looking down at the floor ashamed, I will hug and tell you that it will be okay. When the world seems like it's crashing, I will tell you that it's going to pass; that everything will comeback together.

I am Miriam who will always be at your side, even when you feel like there's no one. I feel like there is nothing else in the world when it's just me and you. With every fiber in my body, I wish that I can take away those fears; that I can help change the way you feel. It hurts knowing that I can sometimes do very little, but just be right here. Yet it won't stop me, there I will continue to be.

I am Miriam who loves to do the unexpected, even though I love for everything to be detailed. To go out to the city and not have an original plan and just start walking to wherever your heart takes you.

I am Miriam who simply wants nothing but to be loved, and to love in return.

There are many things about me that I have yet to discover, if not spoken of. Yet this is me now, this is who I've always been.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
