okay I think that's the last of them let's go oh and did I mention this video is sponsored by Surfshark

the biggest question of my 20s undoubtedly is who am i as if that's a simple question

just three harmless little words strung together in a way

that will make you absolutely lose your mind

and the older i get the more i wonder whether i've been asking the wrong question

because whether you find an answer to it

or not you still are yet somewhere along the way i felt like without

that answer there also couldn't be a me instead there's just this tangled mess

that has yet to reach its final form which is also exactly where the story goes wrong

you see at some point i started treating my identity as something

that must be understood by others rather than myself something

that is straightforward and easily labeled and something that makes sense and so nowadays i exist in fragments

there are different versions of myself that exist around different people parts of me that I've curated enough to be understood,

that are still me, but also not, at least not fully.

And while many things can be true at once, when it comes to who I am, I have somehow exempted myself from that rule.

I think I've been treating my identity as though it's a niche, which might sound a little strange at first,

but for everything that I do or try, I ask myself the same question.

Is this it?

Is this my thing?

As if there's only one right answer, and that it's out there, somewhere.

Like we're playing hide and seek and I'll know the second I lay eyes upon it.

Except, I have laid eyes upon it countless times, it just didn't fit the description.

In truth, I could probably give you a pretty good answer to the question of who am I.

It would just take about 10 cardboard boxes, give or take, and quite a lot of unpacking.

Nothing makes you realize just how much stuff you have like moving, and in my case also, how many versions of myself exist.

I think for a long time I assumed that who I was

and what I did had to be one coherent picture and it couldn't contradict itself in any way.

For example, I consider myself to be a pretty outdoorsy person.

I love being outdoors.

I love hiking, camping, all that stuff.

But at the same time, I am a huge homebody.

I love being at home.

I love being comfortable and cozy and warm and dry

and I felt like those two things couldn't exist at the same time

because clearly if I'm such a homebody then I just don't meet the qualifications

or the requirements to be considered an outdoorsy person.

Which it sounds so silly to say out loud

but that's just kind of how my brain worked with so many different aspects of my life.

Just assuming that if there was any form of contradiction then clearly that just wasn't who I was.

It all just had to fit into this pre -designed box and then I would get frustrated if it didn't fit.

It's easy to start feeling like you need to have a thing that defines who you are,

some signal that will tell people what box to put you in because in many ways we're faced with it every day.

It's this endless stream of niches and aesthetics and categories

and types that's trying to figure out where you fit

while simultaneously making you believe that wherever it places you must be it.

There's this weird and unsettling feeling when someone thinks they know you better than you know yourself.

In a lot of ways that happens every time we go online,

where every tap and click and scroll is collected to figure out who you are.

And I guess I've just had one too many instances where things were suggested to me and all I could think was,

wait, how do you know about that?

which is exactly where Surfshark comes in.

Their VPN ensures that your data is encrypted and your online activity is much harder to track, while their ad blocker blocks ads and trackers,

which means there's less data collected about you as well as fewer targeted ads.

And aside from keeping your information private, they also help ensure that no one is stealing it.

Whether that's through fishy emails, sketchy texts, or suspicious links, their scam checkers and web content blocker help keep your information safe

and with one account you are covered on unlimited devices by going to surfshark .com slash ottilie

or using code ottilie at checkout you can get an extra four months of surfshark

you need to find a niche is a phrase i've seen

or heard increasingly often presented to you as though it's the answer to all of your problems

it's the way to success the way to an audience, the way to be understood, or liked, or respected.

And apparently, in my case at least, it's also the way to find yourself.

You might be thinking, sure, but what does moving have to do with this?

Well, imagine I would move and only take one singular box with me, a single category of items it would all be nice

and on theme and coherent but it would be equally ridiculous

because being on theme has now also come at the cost

of literally every other belonging of mine every hobby every clothing

piece every book every slightly contradicting item would be discarded for the sake of clarity

and i think the same thing happens when you assume that you can only be one thing.

You discard every other part of you for the sake of fitting into some non -existent box.

It's really just abandonment, masked as self -discovery.

Because I don't think the answer to finding out who you are is to water yourself down enough

that there's only one option left.

And so as I was packing, and then unpacking, I realized that I've spent so much time trying to put a finger on who I am,

on finding the one thing that defines me,

when all of these different sides of me have happily been living under one roof for so many years.

And yeah, some are contradicting, some I haven't touched in months or years, some I've forgotten and found my way back to,

some I'll always cherish, and others I don't always love.

but there is room for all of them and more both in my house and in myself

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
보통 속도로 한 문장씩 섀도잉하고, 화자의 리듬과 맞을 때까지 반복합니다.
자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, collect, sponsor, finger 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
