Finding your own identity can take your whole life, but it is the journey that really makes you who you are deep down as a person.
“So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”-Steven Chbosky
The quote above by Chbosky is very inspirational, and it is very important to understand. As humans, we do not get to chose where we come from, or how we grew up, but we can decide where we want to go with our lives from that. It is important to be the best version of yourself, and there are so many aspects to each and every person on this earth that make each one of us different and unique.
By trying to act like someone you are not, you are losing touch with your identity, and it is very important to be true to yourself, and along the way, your identity will blossom and keep changing for the better.
