Blog Prompt: What does it mean to be you?

"To be nobody but myself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." ~ E. E. Cummings ~

I am a complex person. Compassionate and caring on one side, but flip that coin and you could get a raging bull. Most would describe me as being too kind. I guess I am. I don’t like to see anyone hurt or hurting. But on occasions, I have been the one to cause that hurt. I have had to learn to temper that rage through the years. And now that I have reached and barely surpassed middle age, I think I have come close. But still it simmers below the surface for that one time, that one occasion when being kind or compassionate has caused me pain.
