Me.

In response to this question asked to me by a dear friend of mine when I was in Male'.
'Who are you?' Says he.

Who am I?

I am a single entity, an individual. I have a conscience and free will, I choose how to live my life. However, I cannot control fate, destiny or time. I live a period of time but I cannot chose how long I do so, I cannot control the events that take place in this parallel.
I am an animal, a mammal by classification but I have clear thoughts, I make decisions and I evolve intellectually from generation to generation. My knowledge is more than what can be analysed in DNA strands.
I have emotions like pain and fear, happiness and jealousy, spite and hate. I have little or no control over the flow of these emotions. I have faith and beliefs inspired by what I see, feel, hear.
I am an individual among billions of my kind… I cannot tell whether I am unique. I cannot trace back my creation further than my parents. My race (species) divides itself by colour and location but we are all more or less the same. We are who we are or who we believe us to be.
I am a female, and a young adult. I am a Maldivian. I have hopes and dreams and aspirations. I am a human capable of a great many deeds, some which are taboo i.e. considered to be wrong. I choose whether or not to act on these capabilities.
I call myself a name and asked the question ‘who am I’ I would respond by this reference, but it is not a classification nor is it a description.
We discover more about ourselves each day, so I am still getting to know myself. I fear I may be doing so for a long while yet.
