my personality is so manufactured. i own none of it. my handwriting comes from the girl i sat next to in fourth grade, my sense of humor comes from my best friend in third grade, the way i sit comes from the lead character in a movie i once watched, the way i type comes from one of my classmates in sixth grade…. am i not allowed to have something to myself? am i not allowed to be someone?

Not to hijack a post but! ….identity is not a brand. It is in reality a reaffirmation of the self through connections you’ve formed around you. Take comfort in the fact that who we are as people are always being added and subtracted, strengthened and weakened by our interactions with other beings.
