Not asking about achievements in work/love/health/etc. but about your esence as a person. Like how you wish people would describe you.

    I’m past the point of wanting to be, and more focused on what I want to do.

    I’m actually pretty happy with who I am and a lot of that has come with age, wisdom, and having the support system to be more fully and bravely myself. I’m confident and happy enough to worry a lot less of others’ view of me because of that steady foundation. I also know that’s a massive privilege.

    What I want to do is make other people’s lives better where I can. I want to share the advantages given to me, the resources I have, and leave things a little better in my wake than when I found them. I want to lift others up and see them grow and thrive. Whether or not people know or even remember that is not something I’m concerned with, because it’s the impact I care about.

    I also want to enjoy the time I have while I have it. I know I’m only one person and can’t change the whole world by myself or at once and operate within that framework. And I’m mostly okay with that now.
