“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” – Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Who said that?…
Who are you?…
What do you want?…
Leave me alone!…
Get out of here, I say!…
Have you ever said those words? Well, I have many times. To myself. That’s right, to myself. Yes, I talk to myself quite often actually.
Maybe it’s because I’m a Pisces, maybe it’s because I’m crazy. Either way, I have a lot of conversations with myself. It keeps it interesting, and from feeling lonely. You know, I always have someone to talk to…that listens, at least. Well, not always.
Sometimes it’s entertaining. Sometimes it’s frustrating. Sometimes it’s productive. Sometimes it’s frightening. Sometimes it’s…you get the idea.
Can you relate at all? With all that going on inside one’s head, how can you answer the question “who am I?”
Okay, so I am exaggerating, just a little. You all know me a little bit by now. In all honesty, though, it does take great effort. There are some who never answer that question. Or, maybe they don’t until they are on their death bed. Why wait that long?
I guess it’s the universal journey for everyone. Finding your path. Your journey. Your calling. Your true inner self. Whatever you want to call it. Whatever metaphors, archetypes, heroes, fables… you want to pull from. It all comes down to the journey, not the destination. Navigating the chaos and listening to that inner voice. That is where the answer lies.
So who am I you ask? Ha! I’ve had enough typing for today. You will just have to wait for part 2.
Talk Soon,
