EXAMPLE: Relational Me.

I wrote this for the other class, and thought I'd share the example with you too! For those of you who haven't written yet, know that you can combined categories. You don't have to stick with just clothes, for example. I thought maybe I'd write you a little example as well: 

When I look at my life, I realize relationships play a huge part in who I am (there's my thesis). In comparison to other parts of my day, the amount of time I spend communicating with others is astonishing; my phone, facebook, email, and time spent with others in person probably takes up most of the time I'm not working, eating or sleeping.  Not to mention, I'll always blow off a hard work-out to go on a walk with a friend. Even in choosing what I wanted to do with my life, I chose a career that put me in relationship with other, teaching.

Interestingly enough, my taste in music and movies is also centered around relationships. I find it hard to connect with movies that have flat characters, but I am drawn to movies with complex and deep character development. I mean, isn't the relational aspect of Toy Story 3 what makes it so good? I have also recently found myself listening to a song over and over called "Rivers and Roads" by a band called, The Head and The Heart. What drew me to the song? It was definitely the lyrics about changing friendships. From the music I play in my car to the way I plan my day, relationships are a huge part of who I am as a person.
