I think we all struggle with this one.
Who am I, really?
Or maybe it’s just me.

I’ve always thought everyone was 3 people – the person we think we are, the person others think we are, and the person we actually are.

I struggle to be the person I think I am or the person I think everyone else thinks that I am.
Sometimes I think I’m actually that person.
Then again maybe no one really thinks like this.

Some have characterized me as someone who is trouble.
I’ve often encouraged that belief. Other times I have not.
Some have thought of me as the opposite. Some do, maybe not many.

I’ve often thought I’m misunderstood. If only people knew me better.
Basically a good person with sometimes maybe not so good tendencies.

What’s the point of all this? If I struggle with this, then maybe others do as well.
Meaning, just maybe the a**hole I deal with IN life really isn’t the person they project to be.

There could be another side of them I don’t see. They may have a reason for acting the way they do.
I know this probably sounds like an excuse to let them get away with treating others badly. Maybe.
But then perhaps sometime someone else will give me a break too.

All said though, it doesn’t matter in the long run. No, the only thing is who I am right now.
I like to think I’m kind, goodhearted. Maybe I’m not.
If not then it’s on me. No one else.
The trick I think is to match the actual version with my view of me .
No excuses.

It’s not what I think, not how I was raised.
Not my circumstances.
It’s just me.
I am who I am.
