Have you realized about your own identity change through time? This topic made me think, and i started to believe that, my identity has changed because of different situations in my life, for instance when we were a child, when we were teenagers, when we started to study in university or work. I think that the identity is defined by desires, wishes, needs, social life, and economical life. When I reached some important objective in my life, I began to think in other things and do other activities that made me behave different. Also a traumatic event in past times made me change my personality and I became less happy and less sociable for a long time.
