Who am I?

Who am I? I mean, who am I really?

I’m not talking about labels – daughter, sister, friend, acquaintance, employee, etc. Neither am I talking about philosophy – the purpose of life in the bigger scheme of things, etc. or chemistry and physics - that I'm made of molecules, atoms, etc, or religion - karma, reincarnation, prana, etc.

I’m talking about right here, right now. Who am I? Am I the cheerful one who says hi to everyone she knows, am I the angry one who is pissed off at the world, am I the sad one who always cries alone?

Let's see. I used to be happy. I was the happy one. Now? All of the above. None of the above. Now I am just lost. I actually don’t know who I am. Is life really a choice? Can you choose to be who you are? Don’t extraneous factors such as experience, friends, lifestyle, etc also contribute to who you are? Was I the same person I was 10 years ago? 15 years ago? Of course not. You can't remain stagnant. Change is inevitable.

So who am I, right here, right now?
