In the past few years i have found out certain things about myself that i never really noticed before. One of them is how caring i am. I think being a caring person is a good quality to have but i also think that it can be a bad thing as well. I feel like sometimes i care about certain things too much and i cant help it. I think people can get taken advantage of for being a caring person because like myself i like to be a giver. It might sound dumb but i feel like i shouldnt care about things so much and i kind of try not to but end up showing how i care anyways. With my friends and family i always try and be there for them as much as i can and whenever they need me because i feel like its something i should do. When thinking of the question of my identity, i think that my caring quality is definately part of it and i know that no matter how much i dont like it at times, i will always have that quality about myself.
A couple weeks ago i was at a mexican restaurant with my mom and a young boy and his mother was walking in and a man was walking out and on his way he picked up the boy and dropped him. The boy looked like he was going to cry and it made me feel both sad and scared for him when i saw the incident happen. Before i left the restaurant i asked the boy if he was okay. I know that whenever i have kids, that i will give them all the care they need, and my caring attribute probably has to do with me being a woman as well. It is something that Im going to have for the rest of my life so it is part of my identity.
