Some try on selves like swimsuits
does it fit, flatter, get noticed.
Some believe they are
winnowing down to their true self.
Some try affirmations to
create a new self.
Most just get on with life
then wake up one morning
and see the gulf between
who they once were
and now.

This is so true…. and that gulf can be amazingly wide — which can be a good thing. 🙂
