Who am I?

There seem to be several people

Locked up inside of me

Fighting a constant battle

For my identity

Some times they keep me prisoner

Sometimes they set me free

Is one of them my true being

Is one of them really me?

Have a feeling of deja vu. Similar thoughts are in my mind too!

It must be weird for other readers to see Lakshmi comment at Lakshmi's post saying she has a feeling of deja vu- I mean, how existential is that? Especially in a post that ends with "Is one of them really me?" !

For clarification, the previous Lakshmi is ANOTHER Lakshmi, not the author at this blog site, and just to complicate matters a bit more, is also referred to as LG !

Complicated world.

Hahha...I hope you are not twins :-)
Talking about identity- what do you think is the difference between person & personality?
I am the person who takes on different roles as a colleague,friend,relative,disciple,eater,walker,dancer and on and on.....with roles overlapping many a time.
As far as the person doesnt lose the identity & doesnt mistake him/herself for the role...all is well :-)

It is normal to feel like there are different parts to you and to wonder 'Who am I?" It takes time to listen inside and integrate the different parts. A counselor can help speed up the process. I suggest some ideas to help facilitate the process to discover who you are on my website. I thought you might be interested.
