Who am I?  What do i stand for?  What am I like on the inside as well as the outside?  What do I have to show for in my life?

 I get up in the mornings and look in the mirror and say to myself, “Who are you?”.  It seems that I don’t even recognize myself anymore.  Just when I almost figure out who that person is in the mirror something on the inside shows through and puts a certain mystery there again about who I am.

 I am alone a lot so I have plenty of time to think about who I am and what I stand for---I’m still unable to come up with the answers to my questions.  I’m a photographer, I jog, walk, ride my bike and many other things like that but nothing seems to bring out the person inside me.

 It seems to me that I’m not meant to have good friends---they either die, move to another state, or just give up on me.  How can I not dump on my friends so that I might at least have one person that can say,
“Yes, I am Tina’s friend”?
