Who She Was

She didn’t know who she was anymore. When she was alone she said things to herself about who she was. She said she was the type to do this, she was the type to not do that. But then experience came along and put her in situations she hadn’t been in before, in which she had thought she would act in a certain way but ended up behaving in a way that shocked her. She had mistakenly assumed that she was who she was when she was alone, but it was other people who revealed her to herself and showed her what she could do. Maybe she did know herself, but only the self she was when she was alone and not the countless other selves she could be, which only time and other people would continue to reveal to her.
