It feels like this is never ending. Identities change, reshape, evolve.
I feel like my identity changed a lot when my son was born. Life changes: how we see world, who we are, how we see outselfs. I would say it is good practice to constantly work on knowing yourself as this is never constant.
Probably many people suffer from not knowing who they are, where they belong. And many people suffer from not working on finding out.
There is also something beautiful and powerful in all that. The fact you can shape your identity, try to influence that and react to life itself is a positive aspect.
Lets head into weekend with belief that a little bit of awareness and little bit of work will make it better.
This is the stuff that doesn’t get talked about enough. I have also lived this same arch of realization that identity is such an important core for everything else. Thanks for sharing.
So true about anger and pain burning dirty! Thank you for your story about dark energy to self-awareness!
Thanks, Amy. 🙂

Wise words. The Buddhist would say everything is impermanent, and in a way so is our identity as you point out. Know thyself, indeed. 🙂
I always *thought* of myself as a quite self-aware person. But you can't know what you can't know. Life had to really force it on me.

Hit to the point :)
My problem with all of that is I always kinda believe that it's won't be too late.
Consequently, at certain points, it feels like a 'deferred life' after all
We’re a blip in the radar, a flash in a pan. Consequently I’d say: start taking care of yourself yesterday. 🙂
Thank you for sharing Paulo ❤️
I've read both posts, and I feel I know you a bit better. It's a brave thing to share your soul in such a way.
I appreciate that, Anton! Thanks for always taking the time to engage and exchange. 🙂
Didn’t expect this, but really hits close to home. Thank you.
I’m glad, Milosz. Thanks for reading and commenting.🙏
