Who am I? Our identity is one of, if not, the most important aspect of ourselves. It can be very easy to lose it and sometimes the hardest thing to find. There are times in our lives where we can't answer that question and we don't know how we've gotten to point where we don't recognize the person looking back at us.
This month I talk about my own journey through the different phases of my identity. From not even having one (or not remembering it) to having it wrapped around another person to starting the processes of answering that question for myself.
As with anything worth doing in life, being the person that you want to be or changing the person that you are, requires work. It requires you to show up for yourself in the most "prove it" type of way. It requires you to unlearn habits that past versions of yourself put in place to help you survive those situations/people.
"Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly
And sometimes you really live, you've gotta try
We can change it all together, in the end you're gonna find
That what we felt in our hearts was real the whole time
When you open up your eyes, I hope that you find
Who you are, who you are"
- Sleeping With Sirens
Picking the lyrics to highlight from this song was a bit of a challenge because there were so many good lines to choose from. There are a number of songs by Sleeping With Sirens that I hold close to my heart and this was the perfect song to represent this month's episode.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
