identity



sometimes i can't help but feel like a fraud. i'm tricking everyone into believing one aspect of me is who i am. but really, who am i? i don't know. what defines the who? what set of values do we use to define a person? and can we ever claim to know another human being apart from ourselves, when it's so hard to see one's self clearly?

everyone projects a certain kind of image to others. i'd say most people do it to be accepted, because society tends to reject what's unfamiliar, the anomalies. i guess it's the fear of being found out i'm not "normal" that keeps me hidden beneath the exterior at times.

sometimes my mind wanders and i'd think i'm onto something, and then i'll totally lose my train of thought and whatever it was is gone. i guess i'll expand on this if it comes back to me.
