We label ourselves what we think we are but we live in a world of broken mirrors. I am not who you say I am but I am not who I say I am either. How do we endure this life long question of who we are? We don't. We die wondering what we were and never truly know how beautiful we were because everything is more beautiful when it dies. It passes and we put on rose colored glasses and the whole thing was a happy accident. We are cursed with self-awareness and hope it is our savior when it is truly our devil. We cannot count on something that changes as the wind. Knowledge is what we hunger for but it is also our downfall, our poison, our ****** most foul. We can only pray to whatever higher being there may be that there is some sort of purpose in life. Something to live for. Something for our selfish minds and flesh.
