Who I Am

Who I Am video

Okay, I know this post might make some people upset or frustrated, but  frankly if that’s the case, I really don’t care. Recently, Nick Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers, released his first song on his solo project. The song is called Who I Am. I have been infatuated with this song since it’s debut and now more than ever since its video premiere. Listening to this song makes me reflect on my life and think of the people who “love me for who I am”. It makes me thankful for them. Yet, most of all it make me think of who I am or who I think I am. Being presented with this idea often confuses me. I always find it hard to define myself. I still here currently asking myself who am I? Here is what I have so far:

Lisa & I

I am nineteen year old Nigerian student living in new york city who is majoring communications with a minor in digital design, hoping to be a graphic designer. I have many random interest that include but are not limited to: music, art, diy projects, animation, video production, event planning, poetry, fashion, shopping, traveling, photography, food, reading, and instruments. I love meeting interesting people, I guess sometimes I like the stories more than the people themselves. My biggest fear can be classified as Athazagoraphobia, the fear of being forgotten, I had attention problems as child. I guess that’s is what drives me to go after my dreams. I have many ideas and sometimes find it hard to stay focused. Some of my favorite things are: applesauce, the color red, chunky peanut butter, crunch bars, magazines, cartoons, skirts, 5-subject notebooks, hello kitty, forever 21, black jeans, vampires, pullover hoodies, Disney, and my giraffe blanket. I don’t have a lot of friends but the one I have are the greatest friends I could ask for. I’ve has had the same best friend since the 5th grade and I don’t plan on changing that. I’m not big on family despite having a really big one. However, I feel that will change when I have children. I have been confused/reserved about my sexuality and preference since the age of 12. Yet, I fell in for the first time love at the age of 16 and despite the problems or what people have to say I feel it will last. Right now I guess this is who I am but I also realize am only 19 and I still have more to learn about myself and the world.

If you read this post, please watch the video. It is a beautiful song and in my opinion a great video.

For those of you that love me for who I am, this is for you, thank you!
