Only in my imagination am I myself.
I'm currently reading (or rather reading the first page and trying to decide if I want to actually devote much more time to finish, or just read it until I'm bored and decide to play the Sims instead) "Woman Between Mirrors" by Helena Parente Cunha (I for one have never heard of her) for my comparative lit class, and found that quote.
Only in my imagination am I myself.
I don't completely agree with that, because I believe that I, myself am made up of not only who I am when I'm by myself, but who I am around people... see a previous entry on why the Venn diagram of me and the universe is a circle... However, I can relate to that a lot. When I'm around other people I get all riled up and hyperactive and distracted. I get excited and spazzy and jump and yell a lot. But sometimes I take showers in the dark sometimes because too many people are in my house so I have too many thoughts, and the darkness makes fewer things that I have to think about. When I'm alone, I'm very quiet, I read a lot, and I generally have very clear thoughts.
Well, Charlie just showed up at my house. There goes my plans to possibly read this mirror stuff.
