Good questions, helping me develop my thoughts on the matter.
When I posted I was thinking "if I had to choose a label for my identity, what would it be? Because it used to be my politics and isn't now"
Now I'm thinking that I identified with my politics to a somewhat unproductive extent, where, for me, it frustrated creativity in how to manifest them, and shedding this iron grip on my concept of my identity has helped me figure out ways to do things that have material impact aligning with my politics..
This discussion is actually really helping me reflect on some of the depressive thoughts ive been shedding
Hope this clarifies things a little
