Identity and the self

Identity is neither fixed essence nor pure performance—it's the ongoing negotiation between what you inherit, what you discover about yourself, what others impose on you, and what you choose to claim or refuse. The self is real and it's dynamic; understanding this prevents both the trap of thinking you're trapped and the illusion that you can simply invent yourself from nothing.
