About This Quote
When we are young, our identities are formed. We learn who we are by what we do and whom we associate with. When we lose our identity, something is lost because it is the foundation for our life. How can you live if you don’t know who you are? When you lose your identity, you lose the ability to do anything. You may be young or older, but losing your identity is the same.
