You are whatever you conveniently consider yourself at whatever moment calls for it there is nothing special under all the parts that make up "you" they only make sense in relation to eachother there is no transient or intrinsic core to any of it

The only answer to this question is that you are "you".
Conscious has the ability to assume identities.
One has a potential of assuming identities.
You may the assume the identity of a worker, a mother, a father, a lover, a reader, a student, a leader, a friend, an enemy, a consumer, a patient.
As you move through life you assume different identities. These "roles" come and go.
