I also feel the pull to constantly reinvent myself. I feel like four or five characters mooshed together sometimes fighting for the right to express their personality.
It feels very powerful to say "I contain multitudes!" which is true for every person. That feels comforting and exciting.
I'm fine constantly expressing myself differently as long as I don't go out and buy an entire new wardrobe or all the materials for three new hobbies. I'm learning ways to express with my words and the way I carry myself and my outlook on life.

The illusion of consistency is a cage that prevents you from fully experiencing what you truly are. We are in each moment a completely new person, and simultaneously we are all the people we where before. We are the sum of all these parts, a living mental ecosystem. Try new things, embrace new ideas, grow, live and be well.

Try things you want to try. Make friends with people who make you feel good about life. Life is limitless and so are you. Who you were yesterday and who you’ll be tomorrow are different but they’re all you! Nothing is ever set in stone so don’t worry about finding exactly who you are right away. No one truly ever does you know! Put yourself out there and try things you want to try. It sounds like a lot of empty words but don’t be too harsh on yourself in the process, you’re not just one thing or the other and you will constantly change. I wish you all the best xoxo

Sit with every version of yourself. Find the lessons you need. The “good” and “bad” work as one! Be okay with those icky feelings and thoughts! They make you…you!

For over a year I had the "world's tiniest ruggedized phone". I don't remember the brand but I bet you can google it. Regardless, I still found myself using Instagram and Facebook on the tiny little screen 🥲. When they say social media is made to be addictive I fully believe it. App blockers, making my screen grey scale after 6pm, none of it works. I delete the settings, I remove the blocker.
The best things I've done for myself that is SO much easier said than done is 1. remove the thing from your life that you're trying to avoid and/or 2. Embrace the thing you're trying to avoid.
For me 1. Was a terrible job and 2. Was silence and boredom
