I am - Words on Words on Words

In thinking about who I am, the following words were written down in under 10 minutes as words that I believe describe who I am. I challenge you to try and do the same and see how we're often exactly who we think we are and who we think we are not all rolled into one. Set a timer for ten minutes and start writing or typing. It's harder than you might think, good luck! (The photo above was taken in Bogotá, Colombia in June of 2013 and means 'write something' in Spanish).
