Who am I? Its a question that I sometimes ask myself. There are lots of obvious answers to this question.
My name. Kathryn, according to my parents on the day I was born or any substitute teacher in school. Katie, to everyone who has known me since I was a kid. Katie Did, to my mom. Kate to anyone who has known me later in life. I distinctly remember the day that I decided it would be so much cooler to be called "Kate" instead of "Katie". Katie sounds so childish. hahahaha Now when my sister calls me Katie all I feel is love! Funny how things change over time.
My role in life. First I was a daughter, then a sister, a friend, a wife, a mother.
But WHO AM I? Really, deep down in my soul, who am I?
I am honest. I can't tell a lie to save my life. And on those rare attempts that I do try to, my face gives me away immediately. It turns such a beautiful shade of RED! haha
I am passionate. Whether I love something or someone, hate something or someone - I do it with as much passion as I possibly can! Its always one extreme or the other, there are very few people or things in this world that I feel in the middle on. I either love or hate, and most of the time its easy to figure out which side of that you fall on (because I can't tell lies).
I am dependable. I try my very best to always be there for the people who are important to me. When my friends need someone to talk to I pride myself on being there for them. If I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am very upset with myself if for whatever reason I can't keep my promise. I always work hard to stay true to my word.
I'm dramatic. Some may say a drama queen. I don't always think that is a bad thing...
I remember. The phrase "Forgive and Forget" is not a rule that I live by. If you do something to hurt me or one of my loved ones, you better believe that I will not forget it and they might forgive you and move on, but more than likely, I won't. But that rule applies to good things too, not always bad. If you do something nice for me or you help out one of my loved ones, I'm going to always remember that too.
I love music. I can usually find a song that will fit any mood that I am in. And I find that the right song can completely change my mood as well. I love to listen to live music, preferably sitting outside on a summer night.
I'm a perfectionist. A little OCD at times. I want things done and I want them done right. I have a hard time letting something be done half way. I hold myself to a high standard and its stressful at times but I also feel proud my myself in the long run.
I hate change, but I also get bored very easily. Gary likes to say that I have ADD. I like little changes in the day to day. Big life changes stress me out to the max.
I hate to cook, but I love to eat. I would rather clean up for someone who cooked me dinner than cook it myself.
I'm just me, take it or leave it, I don't see myself changing anytime soon!
