we don't know who we are, per se, but we know who we are Not:
we're nothing that's passed through us, been remembered, or forgot
we're not the pain we've suffered and we're not the battles won
we're not the vases broken
not the darkness
not the Sun
we may be simply exhaled breath
we may be unsung arias, yet

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
