Identity facilitates a lense for which makes us capable of opinions. Identity is what I've lacked in my attempts to connect with the world. Identity helps to emphasize with others. To build a community through shared values and beliefs. I am an earthing I have no identity beyond this. Who I am has been erased from a lifetime of isomorphism. Does this erase you to? To collide the world into one being. One consiousness. One struggle, sameness to our differences? Does this erase you? Culture washed away, clensing my skin. Scrubbing away at me until I am white. "Clean". While cradling my head and whispering mimetic kindness. Cleansing me of who I could be. Cleansing me of my ancestors values. I have been erased. Just a physical embodiement of what Im allowed to be. I am human.

Just some raw thoughts on colonization.
