StillLearning, yup we need to have our own identities. I never gave that much thought. I am now. I have to see where it takes me. It is both exciting and scary at the same time for me.

I think this is a great lesson. And its certainly isn't too late. Fortunately this is something I learned early on. I am an identical twin and no one outside my family allowed be to have my own identity (and sometimes within our family as we were always grouped as if we were one person). It took a lot of work to establish my own identity.
I think we all have the tools to accomplish this.
