"I can be myself around you."
To me, this phrase is a fantasized myth.
Do we actually know who we are? I act so differently around my separate groups of friends that it's hard to keep track of all my different personalities. There's one where I have to be outgoing in order to fit in and another where I don't speak unless spoken to. So which one is me? Which group of friends do I identify my happiness in? Perhaps there's a bit of me in each and maybe none of them at all. Maybe there will be a day where I can say that phrase to someone, but I doubt it. I don't know who I really am or want to be. That has always been a mystery.
Maybe for some this is their future, but for me, who I am will always remain unknown and the thought of finding out, a hopeless myth.
