"Writings of one Conflicted"

About Me

About Me.
About Me?

That’s a good question. Who am I?
Who are you?
But rather who are we as individuals? After all most of us are probably still on a journey of self-discovery. Everyday we learn something about ourselves, and maybe we might wonder, “Will I ever completely know myself?” Who knows? Only time will tell, but that too plays a factor on our journeys, for as time passes we change, and the things we knew about ourselves may not be entirely true anymore. The passage of time and its effect on us, we grow up and learn about ourselves, about others, we learn how to live, how to survive, we gain wisdom, we age, many things happen in our journeys through time. So “About Me”, shall I write something, only to change it tomorrow? Should I write down the things I’ve learned about myself? “About Me”, things I know, things you might learn about me, who am I, where do I come from, what are my interests? Simple questions they are, yet a simple answer do them no justice. With each question there is a story, the story of how that answer came to be.

Stories, All of us have stories, whether we realize it or not, whether we want one or not. These stories of ours can only go in one direction, forward, forward as we fill the pages with our journeys of self discovery; however it is we go about it. In which direction do you look as you move along in the stream of time? Do you look back and remember those nostalgic days? Do you look forward trying to forget the past, or planning your future? Or do you look down and only focus only on now? Or maybe we do all three? No matter which one you do we only can go forward, no matter how much we may fight it, forward is the direction we go in. So do not fight it, take advantage of it, and run towards your future, no matter where it may take you. After all when your story comes to an end, how long will your book be? What will be the adventures written inside it? And what will it say in your “About Me”? How many changes will it have gone through? Those are questions that will most likely go unanswered until the winter of our lives. But until then, I shall carry on, forward, to times unseen.

So for now, “About Me” is but a question in the form of a statement, which has no answer.

  2. I like this. I often feel like people want to put themselves and other people into a category – put into a box with a label and stuck up on a shelf. Cool!

    that is a very profound wall of text that is the exact opposite of how I filled in my ‘About Me’ page. I am intimidated :O
    Well thought though. Thanks for dropping by. I’m going over some of your poetry; expect comments! ^^
