You’re never going to listen.

Do you even know who you are?In the course of a week are you 7 different people?
Being that every day is different. Could you react just the same in every way? To say yes would be absurd. No, I'm not talking major life altering changes. I'm simply trying to bring to light the point.
It's a fact, I say, and that the only constant within an individual is change. Not to say that any one individual doesn't have attributes that makes them unique. But, I would say that everyone has a mental stir. The confusion of self.
Well, you see this quite often. It's not difficult to catch.
But, is it something we invite? Is it good or bad? Does this even make sense?
There are some constants. There is some universality. Absolutes that you can, if anything in hope, cling too, if you wish to try and have some type of personality sustainability. (If that is even possible.)
I'm just entertaining thought I guess. I'm probably just being stupid wasting time while I'm in mass media, trying to play this idea that I've got some kind of pseudo-intellect. But, I've just got to thinking. I really did. I so think about how I've seen people change, even those in the mirror.
I wonder how one person could go from one extreme, to another. Actually, how many people could?
People use this language that turns my stomach. They say things like: "Their emotions are a pendulum." "On an emotional roller-coaster.""We all have our mountains and valleys."
But, even as I sit now, confused,
I just had this theme of ideas lately that everything you are has nothing to do with anything you say you are, but, more actually how your actions manifest yourself. Furthermore, in this very argument how everything, if it is indeed a reflection of self, is even more validated by the intuition you so do seek.
What I'm trying to say is that you do everything you want to do.
"Want to do."
Want.
You are the author of your destiny, decisions, you're the only one that makes your life a successes or a failure. You are the only person in the driver seat. You are responsible for your actions, you're the only one who becomes what you "want" to become.
Now, that is said without trying to get to theological. I would say, following up on the driver illustration, that God would be the one who made the car, let's the wheels turns, helps you notice signs on the road, and oddly enough does things you would never notice, etc. But, point blank, he does not make you turn the steering wheel His way. You do.
You're responsible for your actions. No matter whom you are, in whatever day your character is confused in. In whatever situation you face and repercussions you reap. You are who you are. Not, by whom you say you are, but what you do. How you conduct yourself.
Devil's advocate: "You're telling me, that if it is for sure, I'm responsible for my behavior, actions, and conduct. Then it would be crazy to try and pin the blame on someone else, or a lofty circumstance?
Me: "Yes. That would be just crazy."
