New take on identity?

I agree to an extent. Your environment and your experiences in life change you to some degree, it just depends on how much you let them. People change who you are to some degree just depends on how much you let them. Your genes define who you are to some degree just depends on how much you let them. It's all about choice. You choose who you are. You choose how much to let different things make who you are. A good balance between all these things is key I think and how you let certain things affect you is also key. "Bad" things that happen in life can either make you bitter or better, well that's up to you. So choice. Choice is what it's all about.
