It felt like I was doing so well for a part of August: eating better, walking more. But the last week has kicked the crap out of me, I’ve been so exhausted. My legs are sore, & I keep picking at them. I also whacked my left index finger, causing it to swell up & the fingernail looks like it could come off with one wrong move.
Regardless I’ve been slowly working through a COURSERA course by the University of Colorado called STORYING THE SELF, & I’ve spent a lot of time with one assigned reading by Beverly Daniel Tatum called “THE COMPLEXITY OF IDENTITY: WHO AM I?” I actually stopped reading it after marking up the first two pages with highlights, underlined phrases, & notes in the margins to tie to a book called SELF & IDENTITY: THE BASICS by Megan E Birney. Both texts have had me thinking of the complexity of my own self and the myriad of my own unique individual characteristics, traits, qualities, & attributes that define me as a person & make me distinct from others. To that end, the following is a brief inventory of the physical characteristics belonging to me, Steven Hanju Lee:

Breaking down one’s physical details this way feels scientific. It feels off, devoid of any emotional resonance. I found 2 websites that helped me to figure out the layout of my face & body, for cosmetic purposes but it did the trick.
