How would you really define yourself? Political ideas, hobbies, your job, what you consume, not consume and so on only get you so far. Do they even define you as a person? What does it mean to be you?

My personal quest:
“To leave the world a bit better [...]; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

These interests don't define me, but my brain seems to enjoy investing time in them:
- Programming (Python, BASH, Java, Clojure)
- Bouldering, Yoga, Cycling
- Reading (See https://bookwyrm.social/user/burgess)
- Philosophy, Design
- FOSS, GNU/Linux, Privacy

It's not that I'm this big philosopher and you people are missing out or I'm on FBI's most wanted, but I don't want to think about it that much. I want to feel free enough to get as personal as possible/endurable without somebody in my personal life being able to map this account to me, neither person or government. I always imagine some coworker I'm not that comfortable with, knowing all those very personal things about me that I wouldn't want them to know.
I'm in this weird limbo using this account. I'd like to post more, especially about opinions, thoughts, personal struggles and so on, that I usually don't talk about that much openly. Every time I want to though, I think about each post making it easier to personally identify me in the long run. I don't want all these sometimes personal things I post, suddenly being matched with my person. Maybe I'm just too paranoid, but things like mentioning your birthday and home country can add up.
I don't like Facebook and such plastering this message of "We don't sell your data" everywhere, without repercussions. While it's technically true, it's intentionally misleading, because people don't necessarily understand what it doesn't mean.

What does it mean if you don't have impostor syndrome, even though you probably should have? insert "are you even good enough to have impostor syndrome" meme
@thebiologist1117 Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.

Most of our actions aren't chosen, they're a reaction.
