I believe that the things we wear, listen to, and watch are only little matters as to defining ourselves. I know that you can tell a lot about a person by what they watch and listen to, but I think that clothes are simply something we wear, people may want to define themselves through clothes, and some may truly beleive their clothes define them, I think that ones actions are what is important when meeting someone, yes I would like to be compatible in what we watch and listen to, but I also love music so any music is fine by me. I think it is better to be defined by ones beliefs and actions rather than their looks.
On a different note, I do believe that the things I carry can define someone. For example I do not go anywhere without my ipod and phone. Many girls carry purses, and while I do carry one,l I do not take it everywhere, it is not attached to me like a fifth limb. I think my cell phone is important because it keeps me connected to the people I love the most and my closest friends. As for my ipod I adore music, it is something that can fit any mood that I am in, and comfort me no matter what. I am not a big fan of rap, although, I do find it catchy and tend to "like" most songs for this reason, not because the lyrics are good, because let's be honest, most lyrics these days are inappropriate and stupid. I think by this one can tell that I am conservative. I think the things said on the radio now a days are way mature for the age that is listening. Then we wonder where our children learn certain things.
I love clothes, they are something I can always have fun with and feel comfortable in. Even though I love them though, I do not feel like they define who I am, my style changes day to day I can go from lazy sweats and a t-shirt, to skinny jeans and a baby doll shirt. I think my style could say that I like to switch things up, I like trying new things and seeing how I like them, because you will never know if you do unless you try. I say this only to things that will not harm my body, I would never try something that could harm me. I think a lot of people are into labels when it comes to clothes and I don't feel it is important at all, as long as I like what I am wearing, who cares if it has an american eagle tag on the inside or not. Money is not something I am worried about, of course we all need it to live and to do extra things, but having the best of the best to me is not crucial. I like my knock off purses that I paid 1/3 of what someone would for an original. People get to caught up in owning things, with possessions, when in the end it will never matter what kind of car you drove, or what brand of pants you wore, what matters is the type of person you were, the kind of life you lived. It's not things that define us, it is our personalities that tell who we are, everything else is just like icing on cake, and some people just aren't crazy about icing.
