On Identity

Identity isn't easy to put your finger on until you are forced to confront it when something changes who you are.  What you do, (enjoy doing, are able to do, etc.) defines, at least in part, who you are.  It can define who you spend time with, the things you have in common with others, and even the conversations you have.  In short, taking away the ability to do the things you love alienates you from the people you have grown close to.  It makes you feel like you’re sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else enjoy their lives.
