You capture this with so much nuance and grace, I loved reading it. It hit home, too, as I touched on this in my most recent article: the sense that unless you are able to face yourself and know yourself on a deeper level, with all your complexities, you risk getting caught up in tides and identities that have little to do with your own core values. That’s a straight road to deep loneliness if left untended. About to go back and read your Pt.1 as I only just found this, but wanted to comment my appreciation here first for a great approach to a delicate subject!

Thank you for sharing this. I love it.
The ability to know and face ourselves with courage is the key to stay authentic.
As you mentioned it, if we can’t do this, we risk to fall in the traps of identity, living a life that is not ours.
External identities can be dangerously and stressful.

Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more Odel
