Products

So I've heard it said somewhere, at some point in my life, by someone that everything we are and everything we hope to be is the product of something we've bought into.
I think that is so, superdeeduperly true that it's almost scary. Mainly because I've assessed if it fits in my life, and it definitely does. Everything I do is the product of something else. I move my lips when I read because I watched a movie once where this guy said he loved the way that the girl moved her lips when she read. I started doing it because I wanted someone to notice and love that about me, now I do whenever I read without thinking because I've been doing it for so long. It's almost like breathing to me. I'm pretty eclectic, I like a ton of different things. While this is definitely an attribute of my personality type, it's also definitely something I bought into at one point. I'm sure I watched a movie, or read a book where the heroine was into a ton of different things and I liked that trait a lot to I just sort of inducted it into my own preferences. Which brings up a much deeper question of whether or not we are products of nature or nurture; do we adapt to our environments or are our environments adapted to us? I don't have that answer for you, sorry. Personally, I think it's a little bit of both.
I just thought I'd share that with you all. Maybe you've heard it before, maybe you haven't - either way it's interesting to think about.
