Describe Me? You Must Be Kidding.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Daily writing prompt
What is one word that describes you?

This is one of those silly prompts. How does a person describe themselves in one word? You would have to be a pretty bland person. It is also subjective; some would say “loyal,” “dedicated,” or “sarcastic.” Depending on who you talk to and when, you can get any number of responses. In this case, I am all of those.

loyal – I’m loyal to my family; they come first, and I will do everything I can for them.

dedicated – I have always been hard-working and will get the task done. I’m dedicated to my family, and nothing would change that.

loyal – I do everything I can to keep my word. I don’t like to let people down.

Honest – We had a philosophical question the other day: Would you take a plea deal to avoid jail? If I did not commit the crime, there is no way I would take any deal. I don’t lie.

sarcasm – yes, I can be very sarcastic, my comments if I get aggravated can be sharp and biting, sometimes it is done in humor, sometimes not.

direct – yes, I am direct. I have been told that your honesty and directness put people off. Guess what, I don’t care.

So, one word no, not possible. I am like most people: there are way more than one word to describe a person.

About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to

Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat

to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital

porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,

daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has

the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep

appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that

only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay

honest, and to keep the conversation going.

  1. I love this honest and real take. No one can truly be captured in just one word—we’re all a mix of strengths, layers, and contradictions. Your self-awareness comes through clearly, and there’s something refreshing about owning both the good and the challenging parts. That’s what makes a person genuine.

    1. No sir! we would be bots if that were true. Thanks as always for the note.
