Heck, even I’m not sure about something as simple as that. I mean, I believe that we lose a little bit of ourselves everyday.
Why? Well, we are told constantly, subliminally or not, how we should dress, how we should look, how we should speak. You put up a strong stance at first, but along the way you start to falter and next thing you know, you’re another one of society’s puppets.
In this day and age it gets hard for a person to hold on to their true self. I mean you wanna be that person that fits in, and at the same time you wanna be that person that stands out; and is different. It’s a complication of sorts, I guess.
Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I’ve ever known.
