I think I know what you're getting at- lately I keep worrying about "Who Am I"? Most days I just don't know.
I worry about being 'real'... and I try to understand that bit about "To thine own self be true"- but then, I'm not entirely sure who my own self is, anyway.Like; just as an example-
I go into the shop to buy a blouse or something.
I see one I instantly like- then I start worrying- do I REALLY like it? Do I like it because it's trendy? Because I think I ought to like it, and because I've been brainwashed by the fashion industry? Do I like it because it says to the world I'm a particular type of person? Do I like it because my inner child is attracted to the bright gaudy colors and is essentially tasteless? (Or- if she's in Wednesday Adams persona, she's having a goth day and black is GOOD!) WhyWhyWhy?I leave the shop without buying anything because I've so confused myself I couldn't tell you if I like the damn thing or not.
