Define ourselves or accepting who we think we are

I am responding to Megan Conney’s question about trying to define who we are and if it can ever be solved and if we can not just settle for who we think we are? I feel like these questions are a bit confusing and can raise strong arguments from both sides of the fence. In response to the first question, I feel like it is difficult for someone to define who they are because we discover new things every day of our lives that makes us happy or irritates us. If someone ever is able to define who they are I feel like it is not done until they are very old and have experienced everything in life. There are not too many people that can say that they have experienced everything that life has to offer. But for those few who can, they can say that they have defined who they really are and know everything about themselves from what makes them happy to what a certain food tastes like to them. In response to the second question about can we not just settle for who we think we are, I feel like some people can settle for who they think they are and some people can’t. People that are living a good and happy life are the ones who can settle for who they think they are. People who are living a not so good life are the ones who can not settle for who they think they are. I personally can’t define myself completely, I do not know everything in life that makes me happy and all the things that irritate me. I have been around for twenty years and have experienced a lot of things but not even close to everything that life has to offer. I feel like someday I may be able to say that I can completely define myself because I am the type of person who likes to try new things every day so I will experience a lot more things than someone else that is my age who does not like to try new things. These questions have different answers for different people, each person has their own answer to these questions depending on their personal life.
