However, identifying a passion and sticking to the standards that I conform to equate how much I value myself and that has helped me become the person that I am. I am simply me even in humbling situations

I always try to remember who I am.

Myself I must remake.

And it isn't enough for us to identify with our selves, it is necessary to do so passionately, to the point of life and death. Because only in this way can we regard ourselves not merely as a variant of a human prototype but as a being with its own irreplaceable essence.

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.

I demand a lot from myself, I reflect a lot, I search for the truth. That's what I was born to do, to be a witness to the truth.

I maintain my identity by regular work, there is always labor when inspiration has fled, but inspiration returns quicker when identity and the work stream are maintained.

I think that’s something that you have to keep learning and recalibrating and experiencing through life.

I learned to redefine myself regardless of what happened to me when I was a kid, I've been able to reclaim myself. This is something that's required for every individual. We are not what happened to us.

I am who I am and I have the need to be.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

You have to learn again to trust, to reconcile yourself, your life, come to the point where you say this life is worth it and I have the right to live again.

I had to come out and be seen to defend my name and who I am as a person. That’s important for me to do, and I’m not going for less.

I learned I had to stand for something so I could stand to be me.
