Who Are You Really?
If someone asked you who you are, what would you say? You’d probably just say your name. In my case, I’d say, “I’m Cesar.” But is that really true? Are you just your name?
You’re not who you think you are. You’re way, way deeper than that. But you don’t know it yet because you’re lost. You’re too attached to the material world, so you’re stuck in the identity you’ve built so far. When people say they “know themselves,” it’s usually something shallow—like, “I like Cheetos instead of Doritos,” or “I prefer pink over blue.” But real self-knowledge goes beyond that. It’s not just about what you like—it’s about why you like it.
There’s meaning in everything, and the meaning is the journey.
Yes, the journey itself is the meaning. It’s about how we become who we are. And people are terrified of losing themselves. I was too, I won’t lie. It’s scary. No one wants to feel lost.
But losing yourself is necessary. Without change, without letting go of who you used to be, you can’t become who you’re meant to be.
It’s like I exploded into a billion tiny colorful pieces. And each one of those pieces was a part of me—my past, my emotions, my memories, my friends, my loves, my lies, my sins, my whole life. But then I decided to put myself back together. And I realized—I didn’t need all the pieces. I could choose the ones I wanted to keep and build something better.
Now, I invite you to do the same. Let go. Go with the flow. It’s not easy, but it’s freeing.
When was the last time you just sat down and watched the sunset?
"Man, know thyself."
