Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you.

Honestly, still trying to figure that last one out.
Who did I become? Who am I becoming? What and who should I let influence that identity?
I am a sponge soaking in anything and everything around me; this 27-year-old heart made entirely of fragments from past lives lived.
I am not sure who I will be even come tomorrow, but I do know she will be a woman filled with love. With drive. With empathy.
She will be the girl my younger self longed for her to be.

In logic, no movement must come about, for logic is, and whatever is logical only is. The external expression for the logical is what the Eleatics through a misunderstanding transferred to existence: nothing comes into being, everything is.
Søren Kierkegaard, The Concept of Anxiety

The happiness we find in becoming is possible only by annihilating the reality of “existences” and lovely appearance, and through the pessimistic destruction of illusions: so, by annihilating even the loveliest appearances, Dionysian happiness attains its height.
Georges Bataille, On Nietzsche
