''I am nobody, who are you?''

''I am nobody, who are you?''
-Emily Dickinson

I'm a unique person to myself at least thats how' i view it. I may not be perfect, nor far from how I perceive perfect, but I'm true to myself. I am whom I am. I'm viewed differently from many people. They may not all think the same about me but they all know me which would be a common ground amongst them. I already know who I am, therefore speaking of whom I am would be altered through other people. They might or not accept the fact of who I am because to them I'm someone else, but to me I'm just me.

"I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for it self. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough. Without ever having felt sorry for itself."

"I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for it self. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough. Without ever having felt sorry for itself."
-D.H. Lawrence

To me, my interpretation of the quote is self-pity where as one who does feel sorry for itself shall be greedy in what one desires.
Where as it's all about how big or small one's ego is. At times a person may not admit or accept the fact of giving in or knowing they're wrong due to their pride. Stubbornness can also lead one to not feel or let one change their perspective of how they view the world.
