I am a biological entity, a collection of chemicals, wires, tissues, liquids.
To others, I may be my age, my height, my weight, the color of my eyes, the color of my skin, my actions, my words, my expressions.
When I am alone, I am my thoughts, my observations, always distorted observations.
I am hard wired from the developmental years, I am how I developed my views in order to live in the world as I see it.
I am my ways of hiding from and denying what I could not accept.
I am the DNA passed on to me from countless ancestors. I am constantly learning and changing.
I am often awkward.
I am highly sensitive, I am highly imperfect, I am highly compassionate.
I am grateful, I am disappointed, I am brave and I am fearful.
I am a failure, I am a success, I am a mess, I am a puzzle with many pieces.
I am at a loss to know, at any moment, who I am, and it doesn't matter.
What matters is who I keep trying to be.
I keep trying to be, a genuine and good person.
Am I?
