Hiccup

Good morning! It is a beautiful day out, and I have the windows open. I need to get quite a bit of homework done today.

Do the things that happen to us that we can't control become part of who we are? Or is it separate? For instance, if someone has a car accident and becomes crippled - is that part of who the person is now? Is there a way to live with a disability without accepting it as part of who you now are? I don't know. I know that you can't define yourself by it, but can you completely separate it from yourself when it has such an impact on how you live your life?

Scratching my head, not in confusion - it actually just itched.
