No, this is not an About Us page.

This is about what I’m known for.

Or at least, how people view me.

I’ve recently talked to our in-house counselor about some insecurities, which I tackled in a previous blog. 

She actually mentioned something like, people are going to know you by something and sometimes, they don’t think about you for another thing. And that’s okay.

After having talked to our counselor, one phrase comes to mind.

“Top of mind.”

It got me thinking, what do people know me for?

I talked to some friends and asked people on Instagram about the three things people know me for. After a quick and short survey, I realized that I’m known for a couple of things:

• Laughter – Many people believe I have a unique laugh. I think it’s true because someone has told me that even from afar, they’ll know it’s me.
• Organized – This is debatable because I’m not a truly organized person. Yes, for some things.
• Travel – This is something I believe I’ve developed an interest in since we could travel again after getting vaccinated.

I realized that, even if I know I write for a living and that people believe I’m reliable and thoughtful, I can be different things to different people. And that’s okay.

For some reason I thought of this GIF lol don’t mind me

Regarding the previous blog, I’ve come to terms with it, after some counseling sessions. It helped me realize not to take things personally. Plus, it shows that even if I’m not at the top of mind for some things, I’m still a somewhat decent person to them. I think that’s okay with me. I’ve settled with that.

And to answer my own question…

Honestly, I’m still figuring it out as I go along. Haha.

I can put labels on myself or consider myself this type of characteristic, but I’m just me. Trying to live and survive in this world.
