I will never know myself fully.
It doesn't matter how long I will live or how much work I will do. No amount of self-reflection, inner and outer observations, study, introspection, conversations, feedback or experiences will ever be enough in my quest to know myself.
I learned a while ago that reality as a whole is unknowable.
Now I know that it is true also for my own reality.
I, as a whole, am unknowable.
Even if I combine what I know with what others know about me, some parts of me will always evade me.
I am infinite, ever-changing chaos in the shape of a man.
And yet, even if I know I'll never get to know the whole of me, I can't stop. I won't stop.
I am too curious.
I just love this endless quest.
More than that, this quest to know myself is who I am.
I chose a self-portrait as the opening image. I may be wrong, but I feel that all artists are on a similar endless quest to know themselves.
