How Do You Manage Identity Shifts Over Time?

[Urvashi]

As life changes, our sense of who we are shifts too. Sometimes the shift feels natural, other times it catches you off guard. How do you handle moments when you feel like you’re becoming a different version of yourself?

I do not think anyone will be living with the same identity forever, whether you want it or not, whether you like it or not, your identity changes. Knowledge, experience, environment contributes to your identity shift. I take this positively.

I approach identity shifts by reflecting on changes in my values, interests, and environment. I allow myself to evolve without forcing continuity, while keeping core principles intact. Journaling and discussions with trusted people help me understand and integrate these changes meaningfully.
