Who am I?
I have been many things to many people.
I have been known as Amare, Phrynia, Tapathi, Galanodel, and Isthla, among others I have forgotten and still more I would rather forget.
I have been seen as a poet, a storyteller, a dreamer, a student, a complex daughter, a devoted friend, and a master of the web.
In some circles, I have also been seen as a thief, a spy, a soldier, a mage, and a warrior of many, many colors.
Sometimes, I rather would not been seen at all.
So Who Am I Really?
In truth, I do not even know myself. I would be surprised if anyone truly knew themselves.
A person has been defined by one's actions, one's wealth and possessions, one's positions, and one's titles.
A person has been seen by the lights cast upon them by the spotlight, the reporter's camera light, the police officer's interrogation light, and others more and less flattering. Yet each casts its own color to the person, adding inaccurate shades and hues, distorting the final image, distorting the truth.
I seek to go beyond that, if I can ... to be seen by my own light, and mine alone.
