Thought for the day....

"Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known."
- Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

What do you think? Are we only a smattering of personalities, ethics and traits derived from those around us? I'd like to think I'm not, but I see so much of my parents in me. I see little quirks I've picked up along the way from friends, school mates and coworkers. It's hard to say what about me is truly mine.

At least I can fall back on the fact that all those "efforts" from everybody make me original...

There is only one me and if I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known, then I must be a fantastic, original and unique piece of work! Either that, or I'm just still working on figuring out who I am by trying out other people's shit along the way.
