I'm searching for myself in a world where we're the average
of the five people we spend the time with, but have millions
of people to connect with, get to know, emulate.
Where we're constantly comparing ourselves
to one another and struggling to find our identity when it
very well could be any singular one or combination of those people.

I know all of them, all of you.
I just want to know me.

-Found poem in Jim Rohn’s quote “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
This poem was written in 2019.
