And so, today, I sit and think..

In psychology, we learnt that people go through stages of Social Development, introduced by Erik Erikson. According to his theory, people from teens into their 20s, which I fit in, have the crisis of Identity v.s. Role confusion. This is where such persons try different roles and take a bit from each to create one's own identity, or they will have confusion over who they are.

At first, I didn't understand. How can someone not know who they are? But then I started to deeply ponder. I think I understand what Erikson means. Under what do I characterize myself? If I were to die tomorrow, what would the ones who knew me think of me? What influence and impact would I leave behind? And if the good Lord has me live until I am one hundred years old, how would someone describe me? What characteristic or activity would they hear, and think of me?

I think of the phases I have gone through over my short years and my 'permanent' devotion to movies or bands, but not even months later, I have all but forgotten my past fascinations.

So I sit here and think, who have I been? Who will I become? And then the biggest question of all: Who am I?
