Do you occasionally get those really profound moments when the question really overwhelms you as to who this person that is you really is?

Yes, and it's skewed with who I thought I was, compared to who I realise I was, on looking back :-S

Then the realisation that I'm probably not who I am when I was looking forward, and won't be who I thought I was on looking back. :-S :-S :-S

ha!

Most of my life I've been known as...

somebody's daughter
somebody's sister
somebody's wife

I have a name!!!!!!!!!!!

And........... when I married DH, I took his last name, not his first! I'm not Mrs John!
(his name isn't John, but you know what I mean).

With me, it happens once every year or so.

Who is this person that I am with my mind and thoughts that wakes up each day in this world.
