Everyone goes through their life trying to find out who they are, to find a definition of themselves. They describe themselves as idealists, realists, pessimists, optimists. As if in defining themselves, they find their worth. Everyone has a need to know who they are so that they can live their life as that person.
Personally, I reject this idea out of hand. I don't want to be the same thing forever. I don't even want to be one thing, or even two or three things, for even a moment. Why? Because I refuse to be defined. I refuse to be constrained.
Life isn't about being something, it is simply about being. Worth isn't measured in how well you hold up to what you think you are, or what other people think you are. It's not measured in deeds, or thoughts. Life is not to be measured. Life just is. There is no defining it. You can't fight life. You can't force it to be something, or fit it into a nice neat package.
People think I'm a pessimist, or a realist. I could go on and on about what people think I am, but the truth of it is: They are all wrong. I don't live by rules. I don't live inside the lines. I do what I want for reasons even I don't always understand. There's no good or bad, no right or wrong.
Call me what you will, but I am not to be defined. I'm not a realist. I'm not an idealist. I'm not a pessimist, an optimist, a racist, a sexist, or even a facist. I am not an ist. And you know what? You aren't either.

God I hope you never have to participate in a Census. You'll have a breakdown.
