cupiditasmedendiHow much of who and what you are is dictated by your own perception of yourself... or how other people see you?
It's something I've been thinking about a lot. I'm still trying to figure out who I am in a lot of ways. A lot of the time I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, and I didn't have any good examples to model from when I started becoming aware of myself as an individual.
But at the same time... I'm not sure how far I can push it before starting to lose something more integral, and that scares me in a way I can't fully explain.
I know this might be a lot to ask. I have just noticed that a lot of people here are very kind.
