We All Wear Many Hats
My life has been a series of hats, labels, and roles. I have been a babysitter, library volunteer, dishwasher, waitress, security guard, bartender, teacher, flower delivery girl, nanny, counselor, and coach. I have played the roles of daughter, sister, friend, wife, colleague, employee, and boss. All of these are just labels that make what I am doing at the moment a bit easier to explain. Ultimately, there is just one word to describe me and that is: Self.

Do you know what it is like to be caged like a wild animal? Do you know what it is like to scratch at the insides of a jail cell wall as you scream for your freedom? Do you know what it is like to have your nightmares as your only company?
I can’t say that I know what it’s like. I really can’t.

I was recently watching the movie Castaway. This time, as I watched, I thought about how it was filmed. As the movie begins, Tom Hanks’ character has a bit of a belly. As the story progresses he becomes thinner and more muscular. I assume the effect was created by filming in reverse; he began as thin and muscular and gained the weight afterward. I began thinking about how easily we can change when we put our minds to it.
