Identity crisis
<p>The mirror is part of my daily routine. I went there this morning and saw a version of myself I don’t recognize—a concept I adopted from only God knows where, a concept that I can’t seem to trace to its roots. Unable to distinguish my hallucinations from my reality, the failure to recognize what was once mine. Identity crisis is his name. He embraced me stealthily and has almost consumed me. I am now self-aware. I’ve been pretending to be someone I’m not. If I don’t know who I was, how will I protect the person I’m becoming? How will I navigate my way through the path I’m destined for? I took a walk back to the mirror and stared long and hard. I asked myself, who is it that I want to become? Who do I want people to see when they look at me? Do I want them to see a borrowed version of me or the real deal? I’ve been hiding so much that I was unaware of who I was embracing, and now I will let go, taking it one step at a time.</p>
