Identities & Self

We all possess numerous and diverse identities:
Some identities are defined by how others see us
Some others are defined by all the life roles we play
Some, by our personal dreams and aspirations
Some, by our beliefs, biases, and myths
Some, by how and where we grow up
Some, by our appearances and ages
Some, by our possessions or wealth
Some, by our intellectual or artistic outputs
But only one identity is defined by our memories of youth
By the images we cling to so that we can always
View ourselves as young in spite of our age.
