My name is Tyler Doty and I find it difficult to express to you who I am in such a manner as you expect. I say this because I am unsure how to define myself by these standards. A lot of people define them selves with how they dress, what they've done, the music they like, who they hang out with, what they've accomplished or where they've been, along with other things. And although these things make up your interest, resound in your memory, and can make up parts of you. It’s not necessarily who you are. I say this because clothes are just clothes and can be changed and taken off, and then who are you? Your musical interest can change, then who are you? Your friends can change or leave then who are you? Your memories can fade and your trophies can be lost, then who are you? Past hobby's past, past history, in spite of friends, and way beyond fashion. I want to know at the end of the day naked, lonely, effort, history, and hobby less, you could even say infant- like, that i am still somebody, that I have identity. I want to know that I am as much me as I was on the day God created me as I am this very moment and as much as I will be on the day when I leave this world empty handed, the same way I came in: a complex being who never claimed to be anything besides a decent person and a loved child of the living God and that’s an identity that will last forever
