Constant Identity Flux
Sometimes I think we just can't be happy unless we're shifting or changing our identity in new ways. For the last nearly two decades now there have been very few years in which we didn't have some kind of change in the formula of who we are.
Though it's not the classic teenage search for identity, exactly. We know who we are, we're not seeking to figure it out, discovering new things we never knew before, etc. Not *quite*. It's more just finding new things to try, new ideas that might work, new fields to play in. And I guess it's probably healthy to change rather than stagnate, even as an adult.
All of which goes to say that I myself appear to be shifting a bit right now. I've been enjoying playing around on the net the last few days as a kitten. Specifically as a kittyboy, sort of anime style. I don't *think* this is going to spawn an entirely separate new person, but it's hard to say. For now it's an aspect, something like how I have my Aidan Darkangel side and my Aidan Rhiannon side. I've named the new one Aidan Sylvestris. :3 And yes, I'm writing stories about him, which is how I know it's serious! Though they're not stories I plan on publishing anywhere.
