Answer
I see education and identity as things we’ve massively overcomplicated and over-labeled.
Instead of asking “Who am I?” people are asking “Which group, diagnosis, or ideology do I belong to?” Trauma labels, political teams, diet camps, schooling styles – they all become identities. When that happens, you’re no longer you, you’re a collection of talking points.
For me, real education is learning to be deeply yourself outside of all that. Questioning systems, labels, and echo chambers is part of the curriculum. “Normalize being YOU” means stepping out of performative identities and back into honest, lived experience.
What part of that hits you the hardest: the education side or the identity side?
