| Yup, it has nothing to do with the post, does someone want to buy me a macro lens so I don't have to be like 45cm from my target focus? |
People, I'm looking at you Mari, always tell me that I should put a photo of me and Sophie for my profile picture. I am guessing cause Sophie is cute. But they don't get that I purposely do not put a photo of Sophie in my profile picture, or flaunt Sophie around. It is not because I am ashamed or her or anything like that. It has more to do with the fact that I want to be identified as me. My own person. Not Sophie's mom. I mean, I am obviously Sophie's mom, but that's just part of me. So many parents make their life about their children. That's great if that's what you want. But I want my life to say something about me, I do not want to measure my life by Sophie's life. I don't know, I guess this makes me selfish or something. I just want Sophie to have her own life and own convictions. And I want my own. I know a photo is not a big deal or anything, it wouldn't change how I view things. But I still feel like it would be infringing on me. I just don't want to end up with nothing to talk about except Sophie. I don't want Sophie to become my identity. Do I make sense at all?
My profile pic has Sophie, and I didn't even think that it made me less me at all...or that my life is just Sophie.
ReplyDeletei know, what i think about my profile pics do not apply to other people, this is a personal statement, not a general statement...
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't have children, I totally get what you're saying. Why should you have to be associated to Sophie...I mean, it has to happen, you're her mother, but you're you, she's she, so yeah :)
ReplyDeletelol, well I agree with Chuy... having a pic of both you doesn't make you less you at all. It's like me putting a pic with you or Sergio or anyone... It's just the people I love.
ReplyDeletethat just sounded way too corny now that i'm re-reading it. lol!
ReplyDeletewell at least one person gets me hahah unless sergio is being sarcastic....
ReplyDeleteNope, not being sarcastic :)
