"What are you doing?"

"Something I probably shouldn't be doing."

"Is it a bad thing?"

"Could be."

"Then why are you doing it?"

Take a second and think about what you know about me.

Maybe it's nothing. Maybe this is the first time you've ever seen this. Maybe we've met in passing. Maybe we've known each other our entire lives. Maybe you're that girl who was in my journalism class in college. Or that guy I knew from the radio station. You could be that kid I played ball with in high school, or that one from church who I got to know a little bit, or just somebody who read this a long time ago and is just checking back in out of curiosity...just to see if I'm still here.

So think about what you know about me.

And wonder how much of it is true. Wonder how much of it is me. Wonder how much of it is just some character that we've all worked on making up out of nothing.

So think, and then wonder, and then decide if you can answer the question the same way that the rest of us do.

Because I can.
