You can change me completely and it's still 'me', just a different me.
I can die and it's still 'me' just me as a corpse.
I am a bunch of energy but that energy can change and it's still 'me'.
You're right; for the most part, none of us know what truly makes us who we are. But isn't 'you' defined as what you currently are and exist as right now. 'You' are the summation of every moment leading up to this one; a result of all the experiences, beliefs, thoughts and structure that make up the uniue entity which is 'you.'
A theoretical entity that was different from you in any way would no long be 'you' as you is currently defined. It would be an entity very similar to 'you', but not quite the exact same 'you'. This entity would be it's own 'you' that happens to be very similar to you. This probably warrants a completely seperate philisophical topic, but oh well.
I'm reminded of a song, "It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out..."
