I was someone else's me for 39 years Billy. I was the me that my Mama wanted me to be. Then the me that my husband wanted me to be. Then I was the me that I damn well HAD to be to survive. About three years ago I started being the real me. I'm so different than they tried to make me. Excellent question CC. ♥

I am of the generation where the woman was taught to be in the kitchen and raising children and had no hope of being anything else. I did that but had other interests as well so at the age of 27 I started college to maybe realize MY dreams.
A subsequent marriage killed that and I was put back into the traditional mold. So, no, I am not me!

I'm more me now than I've ever been. When I was a kid, I was kind of geeky, loved school, reading, talking a lot, and getting things precisely right. As I've said for years, there's no CD like OCD. :) My career track led me to a dual-track of English professor or content editor in the educational publishing field. I get to be as picky as I need to be, talk as much as I'd like, and no one thinks being a geek is a bad thing. I spend hours looking up topics like the first bridge across the Mississippi, pumas, and Mary McLeod Bethune. It's fabulous!!!

I never wanted to be who I am now...I always felt like I could do more in life that be that small town girl who makes it in the big city but nothing I have done makes me proud of who I am...I just have to try harder...I always wish I was someone else.

"no" and "no" ...
tho I probably am 'me'
my initial take on the matter is that
I would indulging in delusional thinkning
to presume the arrogance of saying that
I am what I wanted (me) to be.
and similarly to presume that someone else took te time and effort to "make me".
WOuldn't it seem truer to assert that what we are, what we become is largely shaped by the accident of birth, upbringing and social/genetic legacy .. sprinkled in with some chest-thumping bravado?
like the rooster taking credit for making the sun come up?

Each day I'm getting closer to the me I want to be.
It just took a little longer than I had hoped.

I am so not the person I'd like to be. I used to like myself, but life has a habit of messing good things up.

How about I am the me I don't want to be? I'm very sure I could go far if it weren't for the me that I got used to be.

On a basic level, I am me-- but I kinda got lost there for a while.
I am on my way back to me again-- a rough journey, but worth the trip.

Thanks for an excellent question!

I am me. I've spent three years bending to be what someone else wanted me to be.. and also trying to bend him to be what I wanted him to be. It obviously didn't work, and we're both about to snap. I know who I am, though, and I'm ready to be me finally.
