In Pursuit of Perfection: Identity

Who do you think you are?
Surely you don’t have to worry about this question anymore. You have it all together. The struggle to find your identity was reserved for junior high angst or delayed until a mid-life crisis, right?

Characteristically, I’ve written an article that was way too long to publish as one post, so I was forced to split it in half.
