I think I've finally landed on exactly what it is that makes me connect with your content so much. I always knew therewas something that drew me to your work but didn't know what. Hearing you talk about self identity, self discovery, living your individuality... it's that.
I recently had to do a project at school where I had to tell a story about my identity, and I couldn't. I realized as a twin I've never had the opportunity to have an individual identity in anyone's eyes, that I've always just been her sister, and that as a result I've never found an identity for myself that wasn't manufactured. (ended up talking about that and getting the best grade lol).
Thank you for reminding me that I can have more, that I'm not trapped, and that self discovery is possible, even if others never see me as an individual. It gives me a lot of hope.
