One of the things that I wonder about is who is the real me? In the comfort of my own company I'm the type to dance around the room and act slightly foolish, but I probably wouldn't do that in public even if the mood struck me. Does it mean I dislike that part of myself? Or do I like the person I am being now too? I think it's weird for me because I view the self as hard to pin down.

I began meditating seriously maybe a month or two ago, and even to this point I have only made the question more complex in that time. I really don't have an answer when someone asks me who I am. I'm more willing to lean towards that idea that the self is very fluid, and its very hard to say I am any of those moments or I am all of them.
