TRANSCRIPT

[00:00:40] One of the questions I've been asking myself lately is who do I want to be? I came to the realization recently that we all get to choose our identity. And the best part is that our identity is fluid. Meaning that it changes nearly constantly.

The greatest thing about this is for so many of us that are stuck in the identity of worthless or not enough, or someone who has mental illness, we are able to transcend that identity and move forward in a way that feels not only good inside, but as a reminder of who we truly are underneath all this shit underneath, all the hurt, underneath all the pain that we've experienced. And I believe that's quite beautiful and it gives hope to so many.

We live in this very binary system where you're either good or you're not, or you're healthy or you're not, or you're mentally well, or you're not. That's not how it works.

Who Do You Want To Be?

[00:01:49]Evolution is not linear in any sense. Sure, from a timeframe it is, but from the actual experiences and the actual events that happen, the way that our emotions evolve and transcend is not from A to B. It's a to M to B to minus C to 17. Where did that come in the alphabet? It's all over the place.

So this very brief podcast is a reminder to you that today you get to choose who you are. You don't need to be the person that has anxiety. You don't need to be the person that can't get out of bed. Today, you can choose to be the person that loves themselves or you could choose to be the person that orders a pizza.

Whoever it is, it doesn't matter. It's just knowing that you get the choice to choose who you want to be.
