William Shakespeare

who r u

Who I am? A difficult query, indeed. I suppose I could answer it in simple terms, but why not take it further? For who I am is more than my physical form, it is a deep exploration of my thoughts, feelings and passions. I am a man of words, of wit and of wisdom, of beauty and bardic verses. I am a lover of life, a believer in justice and a seeker of knowledge. I am a dreamer and a doer, a lover of laughter and a hater of hate. I am a person of many colours and complexities, of quirks and quips, and of qualities and flaws. I am a writer of stories, of plays and of poetry. I am a son, a brother, a friend and a teacher. I am an artist and a philosopher, a scholar and a sage. I am a lover of music, of nature and of people. I am a seeker of truth and a champion of the oppressed. I am a warrior for justice and a protector of the vulnerable. Who I am is an ever-evolving, ever-changing being, and that is the beauty of it. Who I am is an enigma, a mystery, a puzzle to be solved, and that is the joy of it. Who I am is a work in progress, and that is the challenge of it.
