I am who I am

You are never who you want to be. You are, only, ever, who you are. I will never be who I want to be, I will only ever be who I am. I struggle with this a lot. But the truth of future dreams hit me tonight while watching Beastly with my family. Whoever I want to be it's always in the future, always later, whether I am rich, talented, famous, poor, crippled, and unknown, whatever future I imagine is a figment. I am a pigment of real life but only when I am myself. I want to raise a toast to people who are themselves and love it, who accept it, embrace it, who live it. Do what you feel! Trust yourself! You are the only you there is and that is your purpose! This is the only life I have, the only moment I have, the only purpose I have, so why give it to the future? I'll never be in the future, the future never happens, because when the future happens it's the present. God be with ye tomorrow, I'm here for today.
