Roleplay

Daughters, teenagers, mothers, wives, friends, goddaughters, granddaughters, girlfriends, children, co-workers, ourselves... various are the roles we play.

I've been wondering those roles lately. Now, where exactly do they come from?
Is there is magical code, which is activated as the role changes? Or is it just a question about age?

John Gray wrote that every 7th year in one's life means a different stage in life. 0-7, 7-14, 14-21, 21-28 and so on. I'm currently in "developing one's identity"- stage. The next one is "relationship" one. Can't wait! No matter what one might thing about those stages, but in my case, it is (at least for now) very much true.

During the last two years I've been asking more and more those core questions one needs to ask herself in one point. It's been interesting to say at least. And the time of inner growing. I'm miles away from the woman I was at 21. I don't think I would even recognise her...

I don't think that the roles we play are that clear. I don't think that we just decide be a different person when we're at our friend's company than when we're with our co-workers, parents or relatives. It just happends. Naturally there are people who are exactly the same where ever they are.

Of course, that doesn't mean that they would reveal everything about themselves to the people around them. When I'm alone, I might be as brave and crazy as I want to be or as sad, calm or silent as I feel like being. But I do know that I feel like the best version of myself when I'm around the man I love. I've actually felt myself from the day one with him, which is rare and fantastic.
