Hey friends. I'm in a weird place. I'm getting calls from agents. I'm meeting "must-know" people. I'm being invited to speak. It's really flattering, and my ego is purring like a kitten in a sunbeam.
But I'm still a disaster. My body is exhausted and gaining weight. I still don't know what I'm doing "profession"-wise. Some of my friends tease me that I'm becoming a "celeb" while others roll their eyes. I'm in a really open and vulnerable place where the wrong people could jump in and totally take advantage of me. I don't know who to trust and who to be suspicious of.
I don't know who I am right now. Is identity just a matter of claiming who you want to be and sticking to it? Is it ignoring the labels others put on you and replacing them with your own, however arbitrary? Is that all it is? Could anything that relative, subjective, and self-defined be in any way true?
