I just started watching Derek Delgaudio’s “In and Of Itself”. It’s powerful. The opening of the film starts with:
They ask you, “What what do you want to be when you grow up?”
Then they ask you what you do.
Later they ask, “What do you do?”
Which is just another way of asking, “What have you become?”
It’s not enough to have a name. People need something to call you.
So you search. You look at the roles the world offers you. Trying to find the one that reflects who you are. Only a lucky few get to play the part they want.
The rest settle for what’s left or or struggle with what they’ve been handed.
Later he says, “
I did. I thought I knew my role. Then I met a man who told me what I really was.
And I knew he was right. I just didn’t know why.
I can tell it’s powerful. I’ll write more when I finish watching it.

OK. I finished it. It’s about being a human and being more than what society has shaped you into. We are all more than that! Beautiful. It’s about true identity. I won’t say more. I strongly suggest you watch it. It’s on Hulu. A free trial works. 🙂
