Who Are You? [1]

[2]

Who are you?

When asked this question, what do you think? What do you answer?

Take a moment and think about it.

Without much thought I would tell you I am a woman and a mother. I’m a writer and a dreamer. I can think of many adjectives I would use to describe who I am.

But wait. Without those adjectives, without those descriptions, would I still exist?

Yes, I’m pretty sure I would.

If this is true then that means I am in fact not any of those things or words I used to describe myself as. If I still exist without gender classification, without kids, without an occupation or dreams, then those labels cannot be who I am.

So I am back to trying to answer the question of “who am I?”
