My Name is Identity

It's important, but I just don't know what it is. 

That's my take on all things regarding my life, so here in the username, I made a funny little pun, or is it a metaphor? 

If I were to make an anagram with my username, I would write : IT. Deny it. or : Y I deny it. Sounds funny, but means a lot, if you were to take the time to think why. 

At the current time of signing up for Prose, I was struggling with who I am, and I also began a project named Identity, to find who I am and to change myself into the person I want to be. The project went something like this : each night, I would write something to the me of the next day, to remind me why I want to change, and how. 

You see, I had this problem with forgetting, it's almost as if I wake up a completely different person everyday, and I forget everything that I cared for the day before. Sounds fake, but this is the best I can explain it. Everyone wakes up and they're still THEM, but I can't do that, so I tried to pin down my ever shifting moods with a reminder journal.

Identity, it's also something that changes over the course of a lifetime, it's ambiguous, and it doesn't pin me down into a set personality nor does it indicate my style, which is good, I can write anything, and the name would not sound off in context to my story. I don't have to conform to a Sarah persona or a Liam personality, Identity is vague, and gives me breathing space to be wierd.
