Through reading and analyzing all these different entries, I have concluded that identity is in fact a personal choice. Your identity is based solely on how you want to portray yourself. It is made up of the small thing that affect us as we go through our lives that will impact us in a big way. Identity is not something that stays the same our whole lives; as humans we are constantly changing and evolving and as we experience these changes, so does our identity. No one no matter how important or powerful can tell you how to identify nor should you let their opinions define you. We live in a world where we are constantly looking for validation and conforming with those around us. Your identity should be unique to who you are, not how you think you have to be. Identity is a personal choice that we make based on our own feelings and emotions. Finding your true identity is a journey that isn't always easy, but following that journey will lead you to find happiness in being able to express who you truly are.
