Accessing My Creative Self
One of my aims this year is to access my creative self. It hadn’t started well (!) but today, for the first time this year I settled down and wrote a short poem reflecting my current thoughts about my new self post full-time work. It’s probably not up to much but I thought I would share it and perhaps start a new strand of blog entries. See what you think
My Identity
Who am I now?
I ask myself often
No longer defined by what I do
Not sure who I want to be
Thinking in circles as I chase my new identity
I know who I was - a teacher
I know who I see now - a husband and father
I don't know myself as me
Did I ever know myself
Thinking in circles as I chase my new identity
Do I have to choose a role?
Can I function without one?
Who am I now?
I ask myself often
Thinking in circles as I chase my new identity

I love what you do there. But do you need a new identity? We are who we are and we can grow within a job and – perhaps more – where we are not tied to one constantly.
I actually really like the poem. Very honest and communicates so much.

That’s a really interesting perspective. I suppose I see the personal and professional as separate when they don’t need to be. Thanks for making me think about that aspect as well. 🤔 🤔
