Do you know who I think I am?

Fall Out Boy song quote for the win.

But it makes so much sense once you read on.

Have you ever gotten those days where you stop and think
"whoa, wait a minute, what am I doing? where am I going? who am I?"
It's almost like you forget who you are and what you stand for.
All your motives go out the window and you get lost in your own thoughts.
It's like a vicious circle that you keep going over the same thing over and over so much that it no longer makes sense or has meaning.

You're trapped. You've become a prisoner within yourself and you're not moving.
Methaphorically speaking, of course.

So many times I've forgotten who I am.
It's like I've been there this whole time, but 'the real me' sometimes decides to take a detour, and explore by herself. Leaving the rest of me behind.
Not knowing what to do naturally, I begin to panic.
I think I'm not doing what I should be doing and everything I've known was a lie.

I find myself treating close friends badly, and strangers like best friends.
I abandon everything I've worked on, and everything I once dreamed about.
Everything gets turned up side down, and I can't catch everything that's falling on top of me.
It's hard to find yourself again sometimes.
You always think you're being true to yourself and no one can tell your differently.
It's only the fortunate that can rarely catch themselves and get things back on track again.
I've had this problem time and time again.

Don't worry if it's happened to you, though.
I'm sure you can pull through.
I've learned not to let it get the best of you.

"The thing about being someone you're not is...
that eventually someone will come along
and remind you of who you are."

One day I'll think I know who I am,
and the next I may remind myself this isn't who I am.
I'm never really sure when I'm not being true to myself,
but I hope and pray that whenever it happens
I can always find my way back again....
