Examining Differences

The one thing I perhaps like most about my identity is that I am someone who tries to not stubbornly resist changes but instead accepts them, for better or for worse. I would say I strongly believe that the only constant in life is change and I try not to fear it. Fear of change makes you old, you know.

Connected to that is what I consider my drastic step of changing my style completely a few months ago. My childhood friends, who have ever only known me as black-wearing, long-haired, shy little thing, are confused now that every time they see me, I'm sporting a different hairstyle and wear a colourful dress, and have a new story to tell.

My background is what some would call boring, but every superhero needs their origin story to be told. I come from a little village with some nasty inhabitants in the Gorenjska region. I grew up in a fairly happy family with a mum, a dad, a little brother, a grandmother, and a grandfather. As most of Slovenes I also have some Catholic background.

As a little bonus I would like to say I have been thinking a lot about this week's lecture on modern American fiction by professor Krevel. Some of my colleagues know it was discussed, how every individual only has a few important big issues they really care about. I was able to identify three issues that I care about  and are also an important part of my identity.
