It is often that I feel that I am a different person in all of the roles that I play in life I am a hard worker in which I am paid to help people I am a volunteer in many different situations Being a wife and mother is probably the role in which I find the most joy, although it also comes with crushing pain from the recent loss of one of my beloved sons from mental illness So now, I am figuring out that being a mother to one is different than being a mother to two Writing poetry has given me a way to process my grief by writing about it and being a writer has become more important to me recently I am also a friend, sister, aunt, and co-worker Each role I play is a little different from the others and their are times that I feel like a different person in my many different roles, but overall, the roles I play make up the person that I am and most of all, that person is kind and caring
