I.

Stone. 06.02.2008.

I am the project of my life;
I am the artwork of my life.
My personhood is the ultimate expression
of who I am.
To that end, I strive and strive.
Were I Extrovert, my external life would change according to Me.
But I Introvert, and therefore I am the one who alters.
As for authenticity—I am the Me
that sees behind these eyes, thinks behind this mind, and feels behind this heart.
That the eyes see differently, or the mind thinks or heart feels
some other way,
does not make false this eternal fact.

We small immortals have equal right to truth:

I am who I am;

although everything changes,

nothing is changed.
