This entry is prompt #1 of The Book of Me, Written by You project.

The prompt for week 1 is a recognized psychology test.

Ask yourself 20 times “Who are you?”

Each time you should give yourself a different answer, and if you can easily go beyond 20 then that is fine too. This prompt is about how YOU see YOU.
