Well, I am not yet your age, but close behind... but yes and no I guess... from Oblomov to Bartleby and maybe Lev Nickolayevich and Murray Burns I am a composite of my individuality and characters I loved.
But mostly, I am a product of the country I live in where there is no positive connotation for the word 'serious' and yet life has thrown some fastballs at my head which I cannot duck away from... even though I can see them coming. and in fact they are here and present.
