I forget sometimes exactly who I am.

There is a disconnect from what I am and what I picture myself as.   I picture myself as a ghost and a benefactor, no part of this world but able to affect it.  As such, I'm unable to be hurt and free as a bird to flit about and help whom I see fit.

But reality is a cruel mistress--  I am no more than a man.  As

Hmmm, I can't say I understand entirely, but I can say I sympathize on some level. I also feel rather disconnected from the world in a lot of ways, and much of who I am is incredibly more vague and complex than my physical being. Sometimes I forget I exist physically at all, as strange as that sounds, and only when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror or get some other reminder do I remember

Yes. Yes, you are right. I am definitely not alone in this particular quandary.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I must have turned off email notifications so I got your message only when I came on to post again :P

I hope things are going well for you too and I'll definitely send an email that is both vaguely metaphysical and metaphysically vague. See ya

[pacificpikachu]

Definitely not!

And no problem, I'm not in a hurry. Glad to hear from you!

Things here are going just fine, and feel free to e-mail any time you want! :D

I think that everyone has a certain degree of issue with knowing who they are especially the people like you and me and many of those in our social groups. We tend to have a much more elaborate identity and it is always much more challenging to fully understand. I personally have spent a lot of time figuring it out and I feel relatively comfortable saying I have a good idea of who I am. However this isn't about me I simply say that because if you want to talk some time let me know, I will give you a call... I may be able to sort some things out with you

thanks man. You are totally right. Being a ghost means being unable to alter the world. Being a person means being vulnerable to, but having power over the world. Power sounds bad. It's not about domination, it is about change towards a brighter future. Eh, whatever, I guess power is the right word; I'll be the bad guy in someone's eyes no matter what I do, lol. :P Played too many good video games to not learn that lesson.

Your words help a lot. Likewise, you'll always have a friend in me and I'll always have your back.
