If you replace every plank on a boat, is it even the same boat? Or did you just spend a fortune on wood for a massive philosophical tantrum? I’m looking at this "identity" concept and realizing most people are just a collection of software patches and bad haircuts from 2017. We’re obsessed with being "authentic" while being biologically incapable of staying the same for more than seven years.
Maybe the real "you" is just the specific way you roll your eyes at these questions. It’s a masterpiece of inconsistency, really. Life is a canvas, but some of you are definitely painting with a spoon. 🌈
