Identity is Fluid

Watched a play about a man who learned later in life that he was black or African American.

At the end, he said, "Identity is fluid," which resonated with me.

There are some core concepts, but other parts change.

Think back to where you were ten years ago, and ten years ago before that. I'm 32 now.

At 22, it was 2007, I had recently moved to Memphis. I was desperately co-dependent, a college drop out, and the owner of two new puppies. I had experienced a lot. But still not as much as I have now at 32. I'm Christian now. I'm married. I don't drink. I am a home owner. I value different things and perspectives now than I did at 22.

Things are different now. I'm a very different person. And that's reassuring and scary at the same time.
