In this age of constant manipulation, augmentation, and trickery, how can we press past, fake and imaginary in all areas of our life into something real? How can we have, today we're asking, how can we have a real, honest, genuine sense of who we are and not live under a fake identity? How can we trust even who we say we are?

We build it based on our feelings, based on our experiences, based on our wounds, based on our wins.
Our titles, our dreams, our desires, our attractions, our accomplishments, our ability to articulate.
