Biblical Answer

According to the provided texts, being "me" is not fixed or static. Instead, it is a dynamic and ongoing process of becoming. The texts suggest that we are constantly being formed and transformed, whether we realize it or not. As Saint Benedict asks, "Who am I becoming?" This implies that our identity is not fixed, but rather is in a state of flux. We are not the same person we were yesterday, and we will not be the same person tomorrow. This is a natural part of the human experience, and it is by God's design. As the texts suggest, we are becoming a person, but the question is, who or what are we becoming?

The texts also suggest that our identity is not solely defined by our past experiences or our current circumstances. We are not just a product of what has happened to us, but we are also being shaped by our choices and our relationships. As the author says, "You're being formed even now as you read." This implies that we have the power to shape our own identity, and that we are not simply victims of circumstance. We have the ability to choose who we want to become, and we have the power to influence the people and experiences that shape us.

So, can I still be me? The answer is yes, but not in the sense that I am the same person I was yesterday or five years ago. I am becoming a new person, shaped by my experiences, choices, and relationships. And that's okay. In fact, it's not only okay, but it's also a natural and necessary part of the human experience. As the author says, "To be human is to change. To grow. To evolve." This is by God's design, and it's a reminder that we are not static, but rather dynamic and ever-changing. And that's a beautiful thing.
