Who Are You?

I normally would not classify myself as a blogger;

• Blogger → Someone who uses a blog which is a website containing a writer’s or group of writers’ own experiences,observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other websites.

After observing that definition and posting this article I suppose I could then classify myself as a blogger.

To be honest, I have always had a bit of an issue with “classifications”. How long do I have to be blogging before I can actually be considered a blogger? How many paintings do I need to make before I am considered an artist? Do those paintings need to be sold to be considered true artistry?

Here’ my feeling on the matter:

You are whatever you want to be!

• Know only 3 chords on the guitar?- you’re a musician
• Sing in the shower or in front of your friends?-you’re a singer
• Take pictures of your family outings- you’re a photographer

Of course, no one can force you into these classifications, but if you want to consider yourself something, then just do it. There are certainly varying degrees of anything you classify as; for example I am not a great artist, but I love making art. Whether or not you are good at something should not determine whether or not you can be called a particular thing.

That being said,

I am an artist, a photographer, a cook, a singer, a dancer, a leader and now a blogger.
