It's very exciting to feel like a different woman with a new identity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Identity has been such an explosive territory for me... so hard, so painful at times.
Women have been interesting forever.
I mean, I feel like just a new person completely.
Coming up with something new and original is so exciting.
There's something of a painting of a woman that represents all women - and by extension, all of humanity - that I just find very exciting. It's a nice distillation, I think, of what it means to be alive.
In the last few years, losing my father, going through a divorce and not getting some jobs I really wanted, is making me a much more interesting person, I think. This all really does feel like a rebirth, a new chapter.
Like lots of women who marry young and find themselves mothers by the time they're 25, I felt I no longer had an identity.
Hey, a woman changed her mind - what else is new?
Well, honestly I feel like an ordinary woman.
The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that's ultimately all ego.
