My identity was created when my parents wrote my name on my birth certificate in 1998.

My definition of identity is how the people act on a regular how people place them self; how people are placed in the world. What makes people who they are. Identity is created through what the person is exposed to from young to old, no difference, what they like and don’t like, what they allow into their lives and what they keep out.

Humans, a funny thing they are. Are they dauntless, or careless; hardworking or greedy; good or bad? Some argue that whether a person is good or bad comes down to their experiences or walk of life, although that may very well factor into a person’s character, I don’t fully agree. By nature, humans are essentially bad.
