that identity thing.
We discussed that in soc in one of the first classes, and it really was interesting to think about. Really interesting, kinda of depressing, but I don't know why I'm okay with it. I'd just be done.
I think it raises a lot of interesting questions, like whether you think it would be worth it to keep on...keepin' on... or to just kinda give up.
It really is so true, though. It's a horrifying thought, but so true. Like old people. It finally makes sense why, like, there are these old couples and one sometimes dies after the other just because there's honestly nothing left.
Huh.

yeah. i mean, it made me feel bad, because basically, that character's mother left the family when he was a child, so. she was living for herself, and i don't think she was my favorite character, but i felt like i understood her best and that i'm probably most like her. it made me question me. i care about other people, certainly, but i let people come and go so easily that they really can't be my identity?
