About This Quote

In the poem "Walt Whitman's Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman, he said: "I am large, I contain multitudes." This means that every person is made from the same material, but we don't just stay the same. A person's life goes through a lot of different changes. We go from being a child to becoming an adult, and then finally we die. Through all these changes, we have a core self that stays the same.

It may change, but it will always be there. When something new comes along and changes us again, we simply become a new version of ourselves.
