Who Am I?

I’ve been thinking a lot about identity – how we view ourselves, what shapes that view and how that view limits or drives us, how we affect the identity of others by the words we choose and how we treat them and how much of our identities are built around fear and a need for love and acceptance rather than truth. I’ve been thinking about the ideas of grief and social constructs and how we assume identities and mirror them and how we confront those ideas in mid-life and it gets called a ‘crisis’ when it really should be called an ‘awakening’.
