what if the identity that i have had over the past 7 years was one life. 14-21. depression. high school. society. environmentalism. and last year was my shedding of that skin, and this year is the revealing of my next identity. and the next stage requires me to leave some of that other stuff behind?

i was talking with someone in the past year about how our cells are fully regenerated after 7 years, and our body is completely new. and though many of them are expressed similarly in a further/different manifestation. morphogenesis.

i'm just listening to this conversation that trevor is having with a tutee in the writing center. its about a book. it reminds me a lot of what i have been reading in 2012, and talking to Cameron about.
"Hero with A Thousand Faces"
shedding values you hold tightly. breaking down identity. rebuilding the self.
initiation --> visual markers of change
--> all about hardship and pain
