Letter 1 - The Power of Identity Beyond Labels
Dear Truth's Seeker,
In a world fixated on categorisation, identity often becomes a prison rather than a sanctuary. We cling to labels—whether cultural, political, or social—as if they define the totality of who we are. Yet, identity is fluid, layered, and at times, contradictory. It is forged not only in our origins but in our acts of resistance, transformation, and self-reckoning.
To truly understand power and identity, we must resist the urge to confine ourselves to fixed narratives. We must embrace the discomfort of ambiguity and complexity, recognising that the margins—often the spaces of homelessness, exile, and otherness—hold profound truths about what it means to be human. This is where freedom begins.
With love,
Nyx Atassi
