I TALK IN CIRCLES

wondering how you could possibly try and teach ‘identity’. like really, it’s undefinable. it is what it is, but you never really know all parts of it and i mean everyone’s is so different that the very meaning of identity is warped a thousand different ways, and you can’t really say this is what…

Someones identity lies in infinite ropes of their own imagination. It’s a fragile mixture of what people think of you, what you think of yourself, and what you think. You can never fully know what others think of you, and no two people will ever think exactly the same as you. Your own perspective of yourself is dependent on how others view you. And what you think in general tends to vary for many multiple and un-comprehensible reasons with often cannot be explained.

Therefore if how you think changes how people think of you, and what they think of you varies how you think of yourself, it means that the entire balance of ‘identity’ of which is ‘defined’ and ‘understood’ by these three factors is constantly changing, and if something is constantly changing and inconsistent and is not ever the same thing for more than one moment, then there is no identity.

If someone can truly know their identity, then I know they are liars. The best part about trying to know someone and trying to know yourself is that it is an infinite unknown, a black abyss never to be fully known, just always chased after. A puzzle that can never be solve as there is infinity pieces. It’s a surprise. You’re best bet is to stop trying to known yourself and others and just be yourself and be yourself with others; that’s as close as you can get to the truth.
