ME

Me

“Tell me about yourself.”

The interview question I always dread. Because I definitely would like to tell you about myself— but what do I even know about myself?

I could always tell you my name and what I’m doing currently, but isn’t there more to a person than just that?

I don’t think I’ve fully discovered who I am as a person either. I’m not popular. I’m not special.

There was a point where I tried to be liked by everyone, because if people didn’t like me, they weren’t nice to me.

Then I realized I can’t be liked by everyone— and that’s okay. I just need to find people who do like me.

To tell you about myself would take more than a ten-minute talk.

You need to understand where I am currently and how I got here.

It’s a life story that can’t be summarized.

It’s more complicated.

It’s life.
