Understanding "who am i?" is probobly one of the three major questions in our lives - the others being "where am i going" and "who's going with me?". The only way that you can have any definitive answer to the first question is to discover it on your own. As you said, everything influences us and interferes with any true self-identity. You have to realize what your priorities and ideals are, and how they reflect on you. While we can never completly block out the influence of our culture, we can look within ourselves and find our own answers to life's questions. Aslo, the answer will probobly always change. Day to day, 'who you are' will probobly shift. That's not nessacarily bad - we all learn, and adjust ourselves.

As well, I think love could be described as the true and utter acceptance of who another person actually is; no masks, no lies, no icing on the cake. It is probobly only in relationships of love that any of us can ever really be ourselves.

You also kinda touched on the other questions too - trust, as in "who will go with me?" or, who will you trust enough. I know it's hard, but without each other all we have is food. Like taco-bell.... Trusting others is something we all have to do, just be careful who you choose. And it seems you figured out where you're going, so best of luck.

What can I say, I was just a leader on BL's senior retreat, this is what we talked about...
