Who am i ?

I have always struggled with this question. I believe that we are never really the same person, we get influenced to change who we are depending on our environment, our trauma and our lifestyle. Who you are with your family is not who you are with your friends. Who you are at your workplace or school is not who you are at home. Why does it have to be that way? Why do we change for the better? What if the better... is never really better. Why do we constantly change to suit the needs of others? Why do we change to adapt to situations that in the end might not even make us happy or benefit us long term? Why do we explain ourselves to people who could and will never really understand us? Yes, change is good but what is good change and what is bad change? In five years' time who I think I am right now ...will not be what I think at all. To some people I'm happy and jolly, and to others I'm quiet and shy so who am I truly? The person I think I am is not really me. or is it? As we experience life there is always a different version of ourselves for different chapters in our life, I come to the conclusion that I can't chase who I am anymore but what I can do is strive to be unapologetically me. I am on a superfast Roller coaster on this wild journey called life. This isn't girl meets world…but an ethereal being finding her way back home and you best believe that I am leaving my mark as I go. I have come so far and got a long way ahead of me, buckle up and enjoy the ride!
