Who is your group?
Your family? Your friends (online or rl)? Your collegues? Neighbours?
All the fans of your national soccerteam? ;-)


Questions:
Are you defined by people you know? Or by people who know you?
And if so, who defines you? Those same friends and family?

Or the whole world?


People show themselves. To everyone.
They have a bbq-party. They take pictures. And put pictures on Flickr for the world to see.

Do you see how many friends I have?
Do you see how nice, fun and cute they are?
Do you see my lovely garden?
Do you see how much work I had to put in to make it look like that?

Hey, do you see I had changed my haircolor? I like it much better this way! Don't you agree? Please comment that you agree! ;-)

Do you see where I have been in the world? I've done all the continents in the last ten years. Met so many people and cultures.
I've been to the end of the world! And damn, NO connection whatsoever!

Do you see the online games I play? And more importantly ...
Do you see how high my scores are? I am goooooood!!
Come on, challenge me! I will kick your ass!!

Do you see my family?
Do you see how wonderful they are? How proud I am of them?
Do you see how important they are to me ....... ?

Take another look at my friends.
They have been so wonderful and good to me. I am so lucky!
Do you see how important they are to me ......?

This is my way of showing that.
They give me sense of self. They care for me and I for them.
I am so gratefull. And I want the world to know!

We define each other.


Do you see ....... me?
