Identity Anchors
A ready-made list of self-recognition, for the days it's hard to find from inside.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
For the days the self feels unrecognisable: five things that still feel like you, kept visible on purpose. Anchors don't fix anything — they remind you where the mooring is.
My anchors
Around five. Whatever still lands as 'me'.
Why these ones
A word or two each is plenty — this is a note to yourself, not an essay.
What they hold
e.g. The laugh — it's survived three decades and two illnesses. It's mine.
Where the list will live
Its visible home
e.g. Phone note, pinned — where the bad days can find it
Identity doesn't need completing like paperwork. This list can wait for a better day, change whenever it likes, and still be doing its job.
