You are what you eat....

Lately I've had a lot of time just to sit and think about everything that is going on around me. I am at that point in my high school years where I am really just starting to find, and define myself, and i've come up with this conclusion: you are what you eat. Most of you are probably sitting there saying...ummm...yeah...hun... But, rather it is my version of what this phrase means to me that makes it different.

Rather than talking about food, I prefer to talk about my favorite subject: life. Just like you are what you eat, you are the very words that you define yourself as. If you were to say you were wonderful, you would be wonderful so long as you thought that.

I have found myself talking about who I am. In the end, at this point in my life, I really don't know who I am, so I create myself. I haven't created the best image, if i could start over, I would. My image for my close friends is that of someone who basically just has issues. Perhaps these issues really exsist, or maybe, i'm just creating my own problems. I know that at least most of the depression I feel, wasn't caused by me, but perhaps a fraction of it was. I can't change what i've done, but i can change what I think about myself. Like the food we eat, compliments we give ourselves are energy. You need the energy of knowing what a great person you are, everyone needs that in their life too. If you give yourself bad fuel, then you don't function as well.

So in the end, that saying was true, it doesn't mean that if you eat a brownie you are one, but rather what you think about yourself is who you are.
