I know my strong sides, and I know my weaknesses, but do those things define who I am? I do reflect a lot on myself, but how much about myself do I truly know?
In a game I once coded myself and which I'm now remaking (in order to preserve it for modern computers, as some of them have a bit of trouble with my old engine) named Star Story (https://gamejolt.com/games/starstory/58632), I used the main protagonist, Wendicka, to parody myself a little, still by using a girl for this (while I'm a man myself) I could still insist I am not Wendicka and she is not me. Creating Wendicka was confronting for me, but in the same time satisfying. It's not nice having to expose your own weaknesses in your fictional daughter, but as I also sought humor to do this, it becomes easier to relate to things and come to terms with it. Never underestimate the power of humor.
My name is only a way to address me, and my body just a vessel to carry me around. In the end I've always tried to find myself. Maybe I have this urge most of all, as I feel people always tried to keep me away from who I really am, and what I can really do best. And always being forced to do, what others expected of me, even when those expectations were never realistic from the start. I think I have a good image of the person who lives inside the body people call "Jeroen". Maybe better than anyone else on this planet does. Still I too am not fully sure I have the full picture of myself. But I think I got some important things of myself straight... I don't have the illusion I'll know myself for the full 100%. But at least I think about it... a lot... A lot of trouble brought me to do so... But on the bright side, I learned a lot from that....
Oh well...
