How Do You Identify?

 Usually, when someone asks you a question regarding the status, or nature of...many given situations, your response may be, "Im a mother first" or "I'm a wife first." Have you ever stopped to think that the answer you give off the top of your dome is actually, incorrect? Or even slightly misguided? 

When, in all actuality, you are absolutely wrong. We often forget, as individuals, that we are human first. We still have feelings, we still survive off of thoughts, emotions, situations, ideals, etc...

Me personally, if asked, or just casually came up in conversation, I can say that I identify as human first, woman second, mother third, and then so on and so forth. Let's face the facts. I am an individual. Crafted and created by the highest power to serve whatever my purpose may be here on this earth. Whether that is to help people, give back what I may have took, or used in another life/realm, or to teach, be a blessing to someone else.

When I say I am a woman second, I mean just that. I still have needs. I still have wants. I still have desires that I want/need/ wish to be catered to or provided for. It falls back to being just a human. I am created to need interaction from another individual being, or mammal (if you are into  the whole pets thing). I personally grew out of it. My kids are my pets. (Bite me....Im being honest). The physical being that I am, that I embody, is a passionate young heart looking to be completed by that of someone who too, is missing something, or doesn't feel quite whole. In that, two become one, not in just a sexual sense, but a spiritual and mental state as well. 

Lastly, I am a mother. (Again, everyone is different, every answer is not going to follow the same plan). I am a mother to two beautiful kids. ANd where is most of the time, THEY come first, you have to stop your see yourself as that human that I was saying you are, however you identify. So, if you are a father, then you are a father to your kids (after declaring yourself as man/boy/child, so on and so forth). You cannot be an efficient anything to your kids if you have not, refuse to, or neglect taking care of yourself!!! 

Am I right? It's a different way of thinking, isn't it.
