How many times have we run across people who vividly describe what sort of person they are! May be, first starting with education and career, ending up with their goals. Or on a personal front, describing their lives, their friends, their hobbies and what-nots.
There is always a trace of wanting to be somebody that they admire or just some image of themselves that they feel good about. There is not anything necessarily wrong with this. It provides people a goal to work towards to.
But what if you feel like you are nobody - is that bad? Isn't that an opportunity to be whatever you chose to be at any given point of time instead of trying to be someone? Isn't each of us living the life already lived by someone already in some capacity? We are what everyone in the world is and we are what everyone in the world is not. We are all the same and the different people at the same time. May be, there is no point in going around and carrying a bloated 'I' , 'Me' and 'Myself'. Just because we experience different things at different points of life does not mean we are different from one another. Just like water taking the form of the container it is contained in, we are taking the form of the experiences dished out to us. May be we chose them, may be we did not. But thats not the point, we are just the sum of incidents we are actors of and the audience of. In some sense being nobody is as big a feat as being anybody.
I am nobody!!!

Well said... Infact though people say they are somebody, everyone becomes what they choose at a given point in time... nobody is the same over time - even within short period of time...
Off late, "do not resist and go with flow" suits me. I seem to feel good. Not sure, if I am nobody or somebody or anybody.
Experience is not defined by the events that occurred, it's defined by the way that those events are dealt with.
No two persons are ever in the same situation primarily because no two people have ever had the same lives and experiences.
Your possible pasts have much to say about the possible futures you might have.
