Throughout the course of the day I think of many things, but one thought in particular catches my attention the most. Who am I? I know my name. I know my address. I know my mom and dad. I know my friends. And my phone number. But I don't know who I am. I remember waking up one day and looking in the mirror only to find myself staring at a face I did not recognize. But everyone else still says I am me. So I went about my day as normal and nothing had changed, But I felt wrong. It felt like an out of body experience, only thing is I was IN my body. I don't know how to explain it but it just didn't FEEL right. A few hours later I felt something change. I go to the bathroom to see if anything is different, but there is no change. I end up going home earlier than usual because I just want to rest hoping that today was only a bad dream. I lay down on the couch and close my eyes for a few minutes, not even asleep yet when the phone rings. I get up to answer the phone and as I do I pass a mirror on the way. I look thinking that there still won't be any change, and yet... I'm back to normal! I'm back to the way I used to be! I hear the phone still ringing so I run to go pick it up, I answer to hear my sister freaking out about her cheating boyfriend. She asks me to come over, so I tell her I'll be over in 10 minutes and we will go watch a movie. I quickly shower and change then get in the car to go to her place. When I get there I knock on the door and wait for her to answer. When she finally gets to the door she looks confused and says, "Hello, how may I help you?" To which I reply, 
"Oh come on stop being stupid, are you ready to go?"
and to my surprise she said "Who are you? I made plans with my sister today, so I'm kinda waiting for her to get here..." 
"Are you being serious right now?" I ask.
"Yes, I have no clue who you are... Are you ok? Because I think you are looking for someone else."
"Of course I'm fine, you ARE Jessie Smith right?"
"How do you know my name?"
"Because I'm your sister!" I say with an exasperated tone.
"No you aren't" she says cautiously as she pulls out her phone and shows me a picture of her me and her 2 years ago at her 16th birthday party.
But the girl standing next to her... The girl that was supposed to be me, looked like the face I saw in the mirror this morning... The not me... Or the TRUE me?
