Is there anything more someone can do to solidify their identity? Or the achievements or failures, the personality that left an identifier on other people, and a name built for themselves—that's all there is to it? While there are endless possibilities to be recognized for something, most of the time, they fade away as if the identity was nothing notable for and not worth anything at all.
From the path I heaved on, it felt like as if solidifying an identity isn't as easy as it sounds. While people can strive to be different, others would get into the same ideology, which could create a replica towards ideals, manners, and way of living in general. In the end, while someone can be happy to be called unique, it can be hard for the person when the time comes and it dawns on the individual that, he/she shouldn't have opted to be far-fetched from the ordinary or commoner type for now that everyone wants to be different—yes, it created a diversity of identities that are incomparable to each other; but gone is the essence of what an individual genuinely is.
Was it worth it? Some people can say maybe not and would be crestfallen as regrets wash down on their years spent just to stand out. Yet others can answer that it's arguable as the need to be different (since it went on trend where everybody don't want to be compared or an intrinsic human need fitting for the notion of change) made a huge impact on their life and a gap to new perspectives. As for others that are barely contented with the identities they have and didn't strive for change, they could be more sure of what they are and their unbending will and strong sense of self-identification helped them as building blocks to solidifying identity. Drawing the line over the cogitation, not everyone can acknowledge someone's identity—and if someone does, could there be something that would be a good reward for an identity that's really concrete?
