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.

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.

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.

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. 🙂

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.
