Who Am I?

Here’s another diary entry of the ordinary girl. Lets read it together..

Dear Diary,
Today I read some article in newspaper and since then wondering about my identity. Yes, who am I? What defines me- the name I carry since birth to death or the roles I play everyday? I am a girl, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a listener, a writer, a reader etc. Every role defines a set of duties that I should fulfill. But do these make me who I am?
Similarly there will be roles I will be playing in future, that means changing of roles will change who I am!
Then there are dreams, I want to be this or I want to be that, so do these dreams tell about me? May be.
Then some would say my behaviour defines me. But how? It changes everytime depending upon with whom I am. I might be responsible at one time but careless at other time. I might be introvert and shy once but then will talk endlessly to friends. I might be boring at times but fun at other times. There are so many different possibilities. I wonder and still don’t get a reply.
Is the degrees that I have will define me? Or the activities I pursue? Does singing a song make me a singer? Does dancing at party make me a dancer? Just writing a piece of fiction make me a writer? Does designing my dress make me a designer? If not, then what makes me who I am? What am I meant to be? I wonder if there is one single answer for it! Or the answer just changes as the life moves on!!

Caught a glance in mirror,
I looked eye to eye;
Stuck a question in my head,
Actually Who am I?

Ordinary Girl.

Do you wonder who you are and hat you are meant to be?

  1. I think this is one question most of us ask ourselves at one time or the other.. And we come up with myriad answers !!

  2. We all ask these questions and perhaps realize that the answer changes as we continue to go deeper and deeper with such questions. And at some point the question itself changes from Who am I to What am I?
    A good refletive entry in the diary today!
