g, sometimes it is remarkable how my 'unique & authentic' experiences are mirrored in other people's lives. it's a nice humbling feeling to know my oh-so-tortured angst is oft-seen. you'll find another aspect of your identity to identify with g. and hopefully, it will be just as authentic. or you'll make peace with the fact that identity, much like culture, is fluid and evolving in sometimes jarring ways. i think learning to be chill and flexible and forgiving with yourself is the grandest part 0f growing up. it is great compensation for newly acquired wrinkles. or thus i delude myself =)

best of luck on re-entry.
