“Standing at the edge of my fears
And contemplating them
Is a healthy exercise.
The extent of the boundaries
Of who I believe myself to be.

What is in question as I stand
Safely at the border of myself
And think of leaping
Or continuing on?

What happens when I walk
To the extent of "I"
And then keep walking?
Who am I then?”
― Eric Overby, Senses

“Me
I've been trying to do the right thing for everyone but myself. But I think I've figured it out now. I'm going to stop trying to please everyone.


Noora
Yesss!


Me
Get ready for Izumi 2.0. I'm totally evolving.


Noora
What do you think your final form will be?


Me
IDK, probably something winged and glittery.


Then I add,


Me
I'm going to keep the clothes, though.


Noora
I feel like that's a given.”
― Emiko Jean, Tokyo Dreaming

“As all living beings desire to be happy always, without misery, as in the case of everyone there is observed supreme love for one's self, and as happiness alone is the cause for love, in order to gain that happiness which is one's nature and which is experienced in the state of deep sleep when there is no mind, one should know one's self. For that, the path of knowledge, the inquiry of the form "Who am I?", is the principal means.”
― Ramana Maharshi

“I wasn鈥檛 empty because others abandoned me, but because I had abandoned myself. Who I am was repressed鈥攃ollateral damage in a long-term coping mechanism gone unchecked. My subconscious had put up partitions to contain the flood of emotion in the wake of trauma, but in doing so, my identity was trapped and locked away as well. As a result, everything repressed would one day come forward鈥攚ithout warning, without control, and without a shutoff valve.”
― L.M. Browning, Drive Through the Night

“Holy childhood-dreams-come-true! You're a princess," says Noora.
Princess. Most little girls dream about this. I didn't. My mom bought me building blocks with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Hilary Clinton on them. I just dreamed of having a father, knowing where I come from, and being able to speak proudly about who I am.”
― Emiko Jean, Tokyo Ever After

“Being one of the few Asian people in Mount Shasta had its drawbacks. I never felt like I fit in."
He blinks. "Do you feel like you fit in Japan?"
"Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no." It's hard to shake the feeling of otherness, telling me I am a tourist in my own life. Growing up in America, Princess Izumi will never be truly Japanese, an imperial biographer recently wrote. I faced the same in Mount Shasta. Izumi will never be truly American.
Truth? Sometimes I question if I should even be a princess of Japan. If I am laying claim to something that isn't mine. Maybe I will never be Japanese enough. My throat is scratchy, and I curl my fingers into my palms. No. This is my right. I was raised in America, but my father is the Crown Prince, and Japanese values are still a deep pool within me. Entrenched in my blood. People can say what they want. That I am not enough. They can talk, but I stay silent, quietly digging deeper, pulling up my roots, satiating my thirst.”
― Emiko Jean, Tokyo Dreaming

― Karen Whitten, The 25 Mindsets: Understand Anyone, Even Yourself

“I feel like a fraud, what do I do?
I have lied to millions, I have hurt many.
I just divorced number 3, what do I do?
I still love number 1, and number 2,
but they have moved on, I will still get what I want.
My worlds are blending, my online fantasy
becoming further from my real truth of life.
I wish I could have both, Maybe if I lie more
no one will ever know, who I really am.
but will I remember? who am I again?
Louise short, or Veronika Jensen?
my worlds are colliding, fusing together.
I now have two, delusional worlds.
I will keep up the fraud. No one must know.
only my Soul, and number 3 but I dealt with him.
no one will believe him, Because I am Veronika Jensen, but...Who are you?鈥� 鈥攍ulus.secrets.desires”

“I was graced with this remarkable truth: 鈥淜nowing who you are in Jesus Christ makes it easier to function in this world.鈥� I soon realized I didn't know who I was in Jesus
Christ. Not only did I not know my identity in Jesus Christ, but I also realized that I didn't know my Saviour enough to know myself. It's like, how can I know who I am if I don't
know who He is?”
