“I have also noticed how I tend to be afraid of asserting my agency because it will disrupt my identification with the person I have become comfortable in being, even if this person is not who I need to be. It is hard to let go of our ways of being in the world, because we simply do not know who we will become after we let go of our old selves. These expressions of our agency move us into a dynamic articulation of how to be our most authentic selves.”
