Who Are You?

Who are you? No, who are you really? Not what you do for a living, or how much you make, or what you own, or don't own. Not what religion, or political group you belong to, not what hobby you have to take up your time. Not what your parents always wanted you to be, or who your friends think you are, or who you think you have to be when you're around other people. But who you really are, deep in your core, in those dark, hidden parts of your being, those parts made of dream and fantasy and passion. Do you remember who you once were, before it all went wrong, before you made those compromises, before you started pretending to be someone else in order to fit in? Do you remember the way that it could have been, if only? Remember and be who you are. Don't cheat the world of your uniqueness. As rough and imperfect as you are, there's only one you in the whole world.
