Who am I becoming?

"People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself.
But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates."
~Thomas Szasz, "Personal Conduct," The Second Sin, 1973

Agin, another thought provoking post and haunting picture. I'm going to have weird dreams tonight and i"ll be pacing around my living room figuring out what that quote means in all it's nuances.
You've given me an evening of distractions.

Love this quote, this is going in my big book of quotes.

As a psych major, i've learned that personality is pretty static throughout life (probably from birth) soooo with a quote that talks about finding oneself or creating one self... my brain simply will not compute.

Toughgirl, as humans we may have a core personality but even that is subject to constant change. we are sculpted by life events, experiences, physical activities, challenges, people we meet and talents we develop...

CD, there ya go! *grin*
