Searching for identity

Today is Independence day. I have been thinking a lot about identity lately. Questions like "who am I?" and "where am I supposed to fit in?" continue to pop in my head a lot. I think for me that identity has a lot tied up in independence. I feel like the day I find my true identity I can be set free from all that is tying me down. Maybe then I will be perfect:) j/k. I want to finish today with a quote from another author found in Abba's child by Brennan Manning:

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." E.E. Cummings

To all of us in the fight, let us enjoy our Independence day.
