Who Knew?

“My addictions define me.”
While most other people used fancy clothes, cars, and jewelry to tell the world who they were, The Chemical Buddha used sex, drugs and food to define himself. If TCB was afraid of anything, it was that if he didn’t have all of his various addictions, who would he be? How would he define himself? The good thing about his fear is it drove him to pile on even more addictions, so the chance of him shedding them all to get down to his core essence was pretty much impossible. Which means there was very little worry that anyone would ever find out who The Chemical Buddha truly was. Most of all him.
How do you define yourself?
How do you let others know who you are and what you are about?
If you took all of that stuff away, who would you be?
