Personal identity is a fragile construction that is always in the transformation process into “The Other.”
Sometimes I wonder who I am. Am I a street photographer who has loved to wander through Warsaw’s streets since October 2015? Undoubtedly, I am. Am I a financier who has worked in broadly defined finance departments since March 2009? Undoubtedly, I am. Am I a blogger who has managed the www.adammazek.com website since September 2017? Undoubtedly, I am. Am I a writer who has prepared forty-two ebooks entitled “Diaries” since September 2019 (I wrote this text on the 12th of April, 2023)? Undoubtedly, I am. Am I a sportsman who swam regularly for seven years, between 2011 and 2018, and who regularly does more than 10.000 footsteps daily? Undoubtedly, I am.
Am I a fashion designer who has walked in the www.adammazek.com t-shirts since the summer of 2021?
Undoubtedly, I am. Am I an artist who had prepared 22 sets of pictures (as of 12th of April, 2023 – it was the day when I wrote this text) with the “Negation of the end,” “Ostensible Abstraction,” “Living in Poland,” “Inspired by Tolkien,” and “Road To Nowhere” at the forefront? Undoubtedly, I am. Am I a writer who has written over six and a half million words since July 2017 (this month, I started using the Grammarly app; the amount of words is based on this app)? Undoubtedly, I am. Am I a simple human who seeks his place in this world and constantly asks questions mainly to himself? Undoubtedly, I am.
Am I a superhero who will leave a phenomenal artistic legacy behind him? Undoubtedly, I am. The older I am, the more I see every day I see another part of me, another “The Other.” I wonder who of us could precisely tell and describe who they are. I believe I will discover more versions of myself in the future. In today’s post, I did not include all my performances, including the darker ones. After all, the dark is within all of us.
