The Quest For Who I Am



Ever stop, think and ask yourself “Who am I”? Of course that probably is a rhetorical question for most of you and I for that matter. There are times when it seems to all fall in place. Yet, in contrast there are those times when it all seems to be coming apart at the seams. It's those moments of the latter the usually bring on the self reflection.

The reflection in the mirror
You look at it but it doesn't reveal who you are. The person you are seeing is on the outside. The person who you are comes from the inside. Changing your hairstyle, growing a beard, changing your make up application and other superficial changes don't tell you or anyone else who you the the person are.

I know what does
What you do, say, and treat others say a lot about who you are. They are your representation of you the person are in part. I say in part because they also contain components of that facade we each perpetrate. Why, because we all have those things that inside of us we keep private.

About the open book claim
We like to think we represent this affectation. And for many of us we do our best to live this way. Still, there will always be the inner turmoils, conflicts, and “what nots” we hold close to the vest. No matter how hard you and I included deny it, these elements exists.

Is their an end to the quest?
In a word, “No.” There is good reason. Humans are exposed to a constant barrage of experiences, changes and new stimuli. We by natural are constantly evolving. So, in essence the “who am I” today may not be exactly the “who am I” tomorrow. But don't worry. In a way you'll always be the you who you are.
