Who are you today?

Recently, I've been noticing how much people change; often within a matter of minutes. It could be that it's dependent on who we're with, how we're feeling, where we are. But sometimes, spending a full day with one person can feel like a a few hours with a few different people.

People are constantly branded 'fake' or find themselves victim to accusations of not being themselves. But, I've started to notice, myself, that people do change; everybody changes from time to time. I change. We aren't all one persona. And as we grow up, we realise that we have to act differently in different situations with different people and approach different things in certain ways.

I look at it as each of us having two personalities; we are two people. There's the person we want to be and the person that we think 'they' want us to be. So, yes, we are acting, but we do it so we fit in and so we feel comfortable. Is that really a bad thing?
