changes

it's amazing how theory comes into praxis when I start considering the way my identities change over time. I feel like such a different person from when I was in high school, college, South Africa, Ohio, last year, last week even. I am amazed at how things change when we least expect them or how they stay the same when we try so hard to be different. It's amazing how desires change based on situations, based on trauma, based on pain-physical, mental, and emotional. I am amazed how much things change, how much I change, and how constant it is.
