Prompt 12

I think the word I, is essentially just you. We use the word “I” in many instances usually talking about ourselves, using I-statements. I think we ultimately have many personalities, so the “I” saying I like dancing, might not be the same “I” saying I hate chicken. Since there are so many versions of the word “I,” there is no clear definition. One can say “I” and never know which “I” they are speaking from. I, I, I, I, we are always saying I. maybe we are just too selfish to create a different way to express how we feel, so we say I. One of the simplest words because it uses only one letter. But at the same time, it describes everything, me. It shows what I am and how it relates to me. Going back and forth using both “I” and “me” shows the two are very relatable the same almost but they have different spellings. However, I am me, but me is not I.

  2. I really like this definition. It is much different than mind and if defiantly gives me a new perspective. The fact that we are so selfish and that relates to how much we say "I" is a really good observation. I really enjoyed reading this!!
