Meaninful vs. Long

Seems that most parents and people who care about you would not like to see you trade a long life for a more personally fulfilling life. They'd like to have you around for long, first and foremost, as long as the physical quality of life is not too bad. Wonder how it would be if we wore our insides as coats...

Who am I?

We seldom are who others think us to be. It seems to me that most of the time we are not even who we think we are.
