i'm not changing who i am...

The title for this blog seems borderline cliche if im honest but i feel like that this statement is almost an impossibility. 
If you think about it, can you pinpoint and explain exactly the kind of person you are? Sure, you could tell me some characteristics you possess but we seem to think that these define us in every situation and will affect every action we perform, but if faced with a situation of danger say, we could do a 180 degree turn and be a person we didnt know we were and do things that we thought were out of our capabilities. But i hear you say that would be because of adrenaline produced from fear of our lives being potentially at risk of injury, but at the end of the day we can't predict the future and our actions in any given situation are influenced by the people and activites occuring at that point in time, not necessarily by 'the kind of person we are'...
Personally, I think that we are never just one type of person for your entire life, but we grow and adapt to our current living situation and the people we're surrounded by. For example, when i started high school, i was the nerd that went to the library in every spare moment i had for the first to years, but as i continued throughout the school and took on more responsibilities and made new friends and learned what habits and opinions they had, i found myself coming out of my shell and becoming more confident and now if my 11 year old self looked at what i was now, she wouldnt believe that i had become this.
In conclusion to this rather opinuated blog post, as we grow and experience more of the world, we become wiser and more knowledgable of the way things in the world work, it becomes inevitable that we will change as a person and obtain new and sometimes better characteristics that make you a better person... :)

i hope this makes sense....i knew what i meant ;)

Bub-bye bloggers :D

very true...
