True Self

Our choices tell it all

Humans can be delusional—

narcissistic and harbor grandiosity.

I may say, I’m important,

while I may not be.

As psychiatrist Carl Jung said:

You are not what you say you will do,

you are what you do.”

I agree, fully.

We leave trails of our true selves

as we live our lives.

My Amazon shopping list,

my paid subscriptions,

the state of my house,

the topics I write on,

the apps I have on my smartphone,

the profiles I follow on Instagram,

my YouTube watchlist,

they all give clues, they tell it all,

loud and clear,

who I really am,

what’s going on in my subconscious?

What do you say?
