There are a few traits that people always link to each of us that defines who we are, that defines how they see us, and defines our identity.

But there comes a time in each and everyone's life where they questioned everything about themselves. Usually, the question starts with, "Who am I?" and, "What am I doing with my life?"

And it usually ends with: "Is this the real me? Am I really the person I think I am?"

You see... the real question is, how do we know that? How do we know that for sure? How do we define ourselves?

Is it from the way people see us?

Is it from the way we act?

Is it from the way we do things?

Is it because of our goals? Our dreams and hopes? The visions we have in life?

What is it?

What is this one thing that define us?

And what if... you've been wearing a mask for so long it blends into a part of yourself?

What if... you don't even know the difference between the real you, and the fake, ugly mask that you've always wear to please people anymore?

What if... in the middle of it all you've destroyed the 'real you'? You've pretended to be someone else for so long, you forgot how to be you?

And then, what?

Which one is the real you?

Is it still the one you forget?

Or the mask that finally blends into your whole being?

Sigh...

How is it possible for you to know which one is the real you?

I sure hope that I know the answer to these questions.

But unfortunately, I don't.

And when we thought that we finally found the answer that we seek for so long...

Is that really the answer?

Nobody knows.

And when we don't know the answer to something as important as who we really are, we only have one path to go.

Self-destruction.

And until someone helps you to see who you really are and shapes you into the person you wanted to be, you'll always walk down that dark road, alone.

This is the story of how we cope. Walking down that dark road, together. A few lost souls in search for one thing; that, being who we really are. The search for our identity.

And how we finally found the light at the end of a long, dark and cold tunnel.
