Self-Image vs Identity

Our identity,
is who we are.

No matter what anyone says,
we are
who we are.

Our self-image
is created,
when we let others
or even ourselves
dictate
our identity.

“You’re the athletic one
and your sister
is the smart one.”

“I’m not good
at math.”

​Men don’t cry.”​

May we not confuse
our identity
with our
self-image.
