I am… Those two little words can be very powerful. They can be a statement or a declaration. The most important thing about I am are the words that follow.
To me, however, I am is a very tough personal question. It is a hard question to answer. No one else can answer it but me, but I shall try.
I am a human being. I am a citizen of the United States. I am of the male species. I am number four of six children. I am an Aries. I am going to die someday. All these I ams are facts but the question goes deeper than facts, does it not?
I am a jack of most traits, but a master of few. I am a Grand Master Bullshitter which is why I am a writer. I am an aviator at heart with my head in the clouds. I am a movie buff. I am a music lover. I am a very BAD dancer.
I am a happy person. I am depressed. I am brave and I am scared shitless. I am simple yet I am complicated. I am, simply complex.
I am calm and I am passionate. I am very protective of those I love. I am full of love but I am also full of rage. I am firm but fair. I am a fighter. I am a SURVIVOR!
I am a mediocre husband. I am an okay father. I am a “Fat Bastard.”
I am lousy with money. I am a hard worker. I am a fast driver. I am impatient on the road. I am a man which means I am a dog and a pig.
I am over weight. I am fat. I am able to laugh at both.
I am dark on the inside. I am Gothic. I am comfortable in the shadows. I am also light. I am hurt, I am broken, but I am not afraid of DEATH.
I am a nerd. I am a dork. I am a bookworm in every sense of the word. I am weird. I am different.
There are many more ams that I am, none, however, that immediately come to mind. Like my demons, some ams I am going to keep to myself.
There is the biblical “Great I Am” which is God. There is the famous, “I think, therefore I am.” Then there is my personal favorite, “I am what I am.” Popeye is so wise. With the many I ams in the world, as far as I am concerned, I simply AM.
