- - - - the natural changes of my body shift my view of identity
  - - - personal significant events carry through the years and continuously shape who we are in the future
      - how do historical events impact identity?
        
        I can now identify as an individual who was a college student during the COVID-19 pandemic
    - - The Narrative Self
        
        narrative being born out of experience and giving shape to experience
        
        narrative and self are inseparable
      - The Rhetoric Self
        
        our understanding of who we are is always incomplete
    - - Experiencing Self
        
        I experience complete bliss and awareness in the moment
        
        The notable experiences shape the whole
      - Remembering Self
        
        the construction of memories
        
        differences between what really happened and what we think happened
        
        My boyfriend and I remember meeting each other at different points in time
      - Changing Self
        
        The self is never fixed or final
        
        I will never reach a final identity
        
        I am extremely different from who I was 10 years ago, and will be very different from who I am now in 10 years
  - - - fever dream - "dissociation"
- - - - there is no fixed self - it is a fiction we tell ourselves
        
        less meaning to life
        
        What is my fiction?
  - - - mutually interchangeable items
    - - Roanoke
        
        Foundational Faith
        
        Adventure and adrenaline seeker
        
        Family
        
        Routine and strucutre
      - Harrisonburg
        
        Personal Faith
        
        Share adventures and passions
        
        Friends are family
        
        Freedom and independence
- - - - My social circles usually have similar shared content
    - - My actions, passions, or choices are reinforced when friends affirm them on social media platforms
  - - - Mental health issues have increased as physical risk has decreases
      - Higher anxiety, depression, and risk of suicide with "iGenerations"
      - Addictive and obsessive habits are formed
        
        The first thing I reach for in the morning is my phone
    - - Detachment and less social, face to face interaction
      - higher levels of feeling of loneliness
    - - We mold selfies into what we want them to be and display
        
        I find I only take selfies when I am in a cool situation or to be funny - trying to share the adventure in my life and my humor
      - Performance, staging, and mimicry influence
      - How much does our identity actually change when we are consciously framing it one way or another?
    - - The digital world allows for more connectivity than ever
      - I am able to stay in touch with friends in different parts of the country and world
      - I can interact with individuals virtually and distantly
        
        higher use of this during quarantine when there was no other option or form of socialization
    - - No capacity for self reflection
      - Documenting vs Experiencing
        
        I often find myself in the middle of an experience just for a photo or video to share with others
      - Pressure to share personal lives with others digitally
        
        I share my plans and successes on social media, but not my failures to present an idealistic life
- - - - we have no boundaries
        
        I try to push my body to the best of its ability, but I hope to train to the point that I stretch the possibilities of human ability. What are my boundaries?
      - we can influence the matter around us by being aware of it
  - - - Physiologically
      - Immune System
      - Developmentally
      - Evolutionary
      - Anatomically
- - - - Release beliefs for a time to tap into true self
      - When I release my beliefs and values, I feel uncomfortably empty
    - - If someone cannot be contently silent with me, I find it very difficult to be around them
  - - - Because of COVID, I am unable to many things, but I cannot change that. I can only change how I react and how I spend my time
    - - Feeling
      - Mental Formation
      - Form
      - Perception
      - Conciousness
  - - - I find I am the most grounded and in touch with my self when in nature in any capacity
- - - - I often wonder if everything I do is predetermined, and I'm just filling some sort of "destiny"
  - - - I often have to fight against finding my identity in things and titles
        
        living on a bus tested my goal of minimalism
