the perennial question...

"Who am I?"

Do you ask yourself the same question? Is there anyone out there who can claim to have the answer?

It isn't just lately that this has been on my mind. Just yesterday I got to read my journal from the past years and I found it very interesting (and also somewhat disturbing) that most of my entries in the past years move around this theme. Furthermore, what is more curious is that, before I read my past entries, I just finished writing a journal entry which talks about... well... still the same thing. This theme isn't even limited to my journal. I look at the poems and songs I've written, and many of them have the spirit of seeking oneself in them.

So with this, I ask: Will there ever be an end to this? Could there come a time that one can stop asking this question?

I know a lot of people share this concern with me... So let me know what you think. What is your experience of seeking the answer to this perennial question?
