Currently watching: Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom on Netflix

It’s almost unbelievable that Lamar Odom had 12 strokes and six heart attacks after his near overdose at a brothel in Nevada.

If you change over time and your cells change over time, what makes you still the same you?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for April 2026 that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.

I would like to think that I am the sum of everything I do and remember.

  • my experiences
  • my relationships with family, friends and the various communities I’m involved in
  • who I choose to become
  • I am also evolving as a person. In Buddhist philosophy, the goal isn’t to find myself… it’s simply to stop being so attached to the idea that there’s a fixed thing to find. Who I was five years ago, isn’t necessarily who I am today. I’m sure Lamar Odom can relate after everything he’s endured…

    Love the idea that the self is not fixed 👍 this whole experience of life feels like a constant flow of change and growth – a continual transition, an evolution…

    Change is the only constant. In my experience life happens even if you don’t do anything.

    We are the sum of every experience of our lives. Regardless if we want to acknowledge them or not. I for one own everything that has formed me. Constantly evolving and changing.

    I truly hope the things I remember are only a small part of the sum of who I am.

    I’m so tired and overworked these days I can barely remember what I had for breakfast.

    Assuming I even remembered to eat it!
