I really don't know who I am. I just have a sense of direction. I'm a lot of people, but never "me".

I'm like a conscience under the influence of all other personalities. I'm aware, but not in control. My body moves on its own and does its own thing. I have different and opposing point of views, I think like somebody else. I'm No one, then everyone else.

My attitudes change with manners and gestures and body positions and acts. I can see all that, but not control it.

I'm in total conflict with society and my self image. Its been a battle and I'm not a winner, I'm lost in the mental shuffle.

I don't even feel like I'm bodily in control. I feel disconnected in perception. Sure I can feel, but also can feel that I'm not controlling how I move. It's like I'm on a carnival ride, just going with the flow.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just gave up. Let em have it so to speak.

It's already made me socially awkward, let alone personally awkward, no real sense of self. I can only dream of being a solid me....actually no idea as scary as the idea is, but I can imagine.

One minute I'm a sit at home Mom, and the next I want to write the next best seller, or re-program the computer, or be building on a website, or a business accountant guru, or next working on my next gourmet meal....sure it seems normal enough, but feeling like completely different people with different ideas and attitudes? I know that's not normal.

I'm sure I've griped about this already, but today, I'm not feeling all that great about it. Thanks for letting me rant, there's a part of me that's proud of being a know it all and totally in control, or at least likes to keep the illusion that we are.

(((AlwaysChanging2))) You rant away if it makes you feel better. None of us are 100% of who we want to be even when it's just one of us. We're all a work in progress......
