Who am I?
Badges, Hats and Sashes
When we were born, we were not born with a badge, hat, or sash. It is only through the passage of time that we acquire roles and responsibilities. Sometimes these labels fall away, other times we acquire new ones.
Underneath these roles we acquire, is ‘little ole me’. The person I knew before, the person with my own identity, needs an own sense of meaning and purpose.
Please do not forget or neglect ‘little ole me’, I am still here behind the badge, hat, or sash. ‘Little ole me’ is not a role, responsibility, or an expectation.
So, who am I...?
