Nothing really defines me as I am always changing....evolving... hopefully to be a better me. I dont like to be put in a box or a lane I dont color in the lines..........I create my own lanes, lines and boxes and then I bust out of those.
is it your looks? Your accomplishments? Your ideas? Your family? Your past experiences?
All of the above, for me as well, which has led to independent thinking in attempting to search for new perspectives so that I can think outside of the box; my strong feelings for friends and family; my sense of humor; and the knowledge that any struggle I have had has led me to become the person I am, want to be, and accept without reservation. This can take a long time.
I think my children and their behavior/actions/attitude define me. After all, what will be left of me in 100 years? My descendents. If I teach good values to my children, that will (hopefully) trickle down through the generations. I guess I feel that what defines me is the impact I leave on this planet. If I were an architect, I would say "my designs", but I am a mother, so I say, "my children".

Fair enough. That's one way to look at things, and one way to leave your mark. For me I'd rather leave my mark through my work and hope that my work spans the generations. In your case I guess your work is the kids

Well, I realized after retired that it was my job (how sad). Now it is..........hmmmm.....................let me think............................. ...................................... donno.
I need to adopt some day. I have nothing to look forward to in life without something big like that ...... my other dream is to do some huge out of this world art project....

Not money, nor accomplishments.
No passion was ever given so great than what I placed of myself into him.
