Some of the finest minds this world has ever known have deliberated their existence for eons and never settled on a satisfactory conclusion. My brain could ponder for just as long and never master the art of knowing who I am, so instead I am going to lead with who I want to be. If the world reeked of perfection I’d be juggling between script commissions, a best selling novel and a stack of magazine cut outs. At the moment I’d contentedly clutch at one of the three.
I had a college professor who used to say that when you start questioning who you are that’s when you cease to be. I think it’s not only more than okay, but normal to not be able to answer ‘Who am I?’ Perhaps even more preferable than to be able to answer it. Well done.

Thank you! That’s a great sentiment, and it’s so very true.
P.S, I love the tag line for your blog, I’m jealous.

Well this is certainly short and sweet! I love the minimalist approach, makes you seem mysterious.
Keep writing! And maybe within the year, you and I will be editing screenplays together, lol.

Ha, thank you, I have definitely been favouring the short and sweet (or perhaps sour) approach lately…. my writing hand is tired too, just as you said in yours! Fingers and toes and everything physiologically moveable crossed! Hehe.

This was simplistically true. The prided, “who are you?” My response, “I am who I am, and I don’t know how to be anyone other than me” one can never truly describe who they are. however, they can live it

Thank you. I’m also of the opinion that who you are changes several times a day, so it’s not something I could ever properly set it stone… or commit to a blog post!
