Maybe we build an identity slowly over a lifetime. Maybe life would be
boring if we had it "all together" at a certain age. What if we were
"stuck" with an identity and could no longer grow? Just be easy on
yourself and try to think of this period as a phase. Maybe even a long
phase. I am a fan of diet, sleep and exercise vs. drugs but write to
Allan. And whose idea of "potential" are we trying to live up to? Is
it good or even realistic? I think we live in an Age of Anxiety, don't
we?
