I'm still not there, I tend to change alot.

14 was when I started figuring out what I believe in (e.g. religion, political views), and the time when I formed a lot of opinions. A year later, I'm still changing, but most things I believe in aren't.

I would argue that learning those things would not tell you who you were. These are "false identity" -- the junk food of being. The challenge of identity is to locate the source of yourself, beyond all fixed forms like beliefs, friends, allegiances, talents, images, relationships, behavior patterns, history... If you set all that aside, who are you? I began to understand the answer to that when I was about 45.

I'll get back to you. I have some things figured out, but just when I think I know everything, everything changes completely. Ahh such is life, I suppose.
