Identity is the characteristic of how you act and being yourself. In my opinion, identity is something that occurs naturally that no matter how hard you control yourself, it would occur in some point of your life time. It's something that occurs naturally that you don't need to be thinking of. I think that sometimes identity couldn't be control and it occurs naturally just like emotions. No matter how hard you're trying to control your emotions, people around us could see what we're feeling. For instance, when I'm happy and I try to control myself to stop from laughing; I would ending up laughing anyways even though I can control myself from laughing for a few minutes. Or, if I'm sad, I can't pretend to smile because others could see if I'm actually smiling or not. So, identity is something I think we cannot be controlling of because that's what who you are.
Just a short, simple, and an easy understanding word, the word 'identity' still play an important role in my life. It controls my feelings, gestures, postures, and how I speak and act around people. When I was a little kid, I would be called a shy and a quiet girl because I always be aware of how I act in front of the society. I was so cautious in every step I take and every word I speak that made me confused. I was so confused and nervous at what I spoke, so I chose to speak only when I have to. But now, I understand what's right or wrong; so, I know when to be tactful and when to be playful and make that a habit. In my opinion, a person who just say every single feelings they had without being subtle is not entirely their fault because that's what make them a part of them. It's just like my natural hair color, no matter how many times I colored my hair; my black hair would appear in some period of my life. People shouldn't be ashamed at what makes them, them; they should be proud to be their self and individual. I'm very proud at what I am even though I'm not one of the brightest or the best person in the whole wide world. But, I'm sure that there's only one Bam that could have existed, or a matter of fact, a limited edition.
Bam, AMAZING post!! Your post was well written with thorough explanations, but I think that you were a little repetitive at first about how identity happens without thinking. Regardless, you gave a lot of examples that support your thought on identity. I personally like the hair example the most! That hair example was really creative and original. Your post show your deep understanding about identity and what it means to you. I admire how you use different types of transition words to make the post flow. For example, you used for instance, or, so, but now, and many more. I don't really agree with your last sentence, I understand that you want to say that there's no other bam, but the words you chose didn't sound right. I suggest that you change the word limited edition to a one and only. Other than that, your post was well written, you've shown a lot of voice in that post and it was nearly flawless. GREAT JOB!!!
