—To lose myself means to go beyond all the identities that I have created over my lifetime. It is to deny an idea that I am in a certain way and that’s it. I really believe we all create identities. These stem from  the past,  from trauma, and from life in general. In a way these identities are always with you. But you can transcend them and go beyond them to realise the possibility of being anything you like.
