new blog post - the venn diagram of where you're from and who you are

[Split]

I liked the part about boxing people up and compartmentalizing yourself. Finding out which parts of yourself came from where, it kind of all falls under the theme that no one is original. I wish you'd expounded more on this process of sorting out your identity. People can put YOU in a box- oh yeah, that's the short kid that likes golf. Boom, identity masked. But they can also subsort. "Oh yeah, that's the short kid that likes golf... one of the most sarcastic people I know". That sort of compartmentalization always leads to a discussion of why, when, and how... like a quick character analysis of your friends. It's this projected image of ourselves we always seem to have on our minds, when we reflect on our own personality and identity. And we can never fully keep track of the soup of traits and characteristics our friends are tasting.
