Quite intriguing…

I know I’m breaking the rules; disregarding protocol maybe. But, I think the most subjected rule of existence is Identity; More so, Identity of Self.

We all have some category to fall into. These “boxes” to check off are given to us at birth. What isn’t given to us is our identity. This is a hard one to associate with. Your gender, sexual preference, political views or even racial identification mean nothing without your own personal
contribution to the significance those roles play in identifying who you are.

To avoid taking up too much of your time I will simply this: Find out who you are as quick as you can, and be that as long as you possibly can.

  1. "Find out who you are, and do it on purpose." Dolly Parton said that. I couldn't agree more with both of you :)

  2. Sorry I just saw this. What's funny is I just watched a great Biography on Dolly last sunday. The same day you posted this apparently. Guess you were up at six a.m. like me and saw it, or you're just really a fan of Dolly.
