Who Are You?

If someone asks me, “Who are you?”, what should my answer be?

Hmm...

I am not who I think I am.
I am not who you think I am.
I am who I think you think I am.

Recently, through social media and literature, I came across something very peculiar. At first, I did not think much about it. But the more I saw it, the more I began to believe it.

Say, listeners (readers), have you ever heard about the Rule of Three?

The rule says that at any given moment in life, a single individual can only give attention to three main things.

Yes, only three things.

So I ask myself again:

Who are you?

Well, I am a 24-year-old corporate mazdoor who gives one of his attention points to his job. Out of the remaining two, one goes to my hobby of learning guitar, and the other, as you can see, goes to writing blogs.

To be honest, I do more than that. I try to stay in shape with some physical activity. I read novels to pass the time. Sometimes I even warm my hands on a gas stove and eat something delicious.

But with all of that listed above, how can one say they only pay attention to three things?

To test this rule, I started listing my daily life. And to my surprise, I noticed a pattern: on the days I did more than three things, I felt mentally exhausted.

Well, it made me sleep like a potato, but I was still exhausted.

On most days, though, I usually do only three things.

One day, I am a guitarist.
Another day, I am a blogger.
As a kid, I was an anime guy.
On some days, I am my family’s IT guy.
On other days, I am a gym bro.

Here is the truth: at any given time, I can be any one of these guys, but I cannot be all of them at once.

So do not try to be all of you at once. Just choose any three for a day.

I will start following the Rule of Three from now on.

If you choose to do the same, let me know in the comments how it went.

So this fool takes his leave by saying:

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night to however, whatever, and wherever you are, my listeners (readers).
