A thought about identity

[pandora_parrot]

Identity.

The definition of which I am.

What if what I am cannot be defined in the moment? Perhaps "I" am the sum total of who I aspire to be, who I am becoming, and who I've been.

Perhaps identity is the convergence of past and future into the present.

i think we are everything we have ever been, but some parts may have moved downstairs to the subconscious, so we don't remember them. like putting unused clothes, books, old photographs, broken furniture and such down in the basement for storage, but not really getting rid of them.

...death is the cosmic Goodwill pickup.
