I'm a tomato.  Tomatoes come in all shapes and sizes, mostly round.  Some are longer than others, some are more wrinkled and then there are the cherry and grape tomatoes.  Lots of room for identity problems in being a tomato.  Room for diversity in being a tomato.

Did you know that calling a woman a tomato can be a good thing?  You can look it up!  It's also a slang term for a stupid person.  You can look that up as well.  Such a useful word and a useful plant.  I love tomatoes, but am not fond of ketchup.  Spaghetti sauce made from tomatoes is divine (HA!!) and tomatoes are wonderful in salads. 

Tomatoes are basic, simple and prevalent.  Most anyone can grow a tomato, most everyone likes tomatoes.  I like being a tomato.

And when I wear a large red sweatshirt, I feel like a tomato.  Which is why I'm trying to lose weight....
