THE CLASSIC RECIPE OF LOST IDENTITY
OR
INDEX OF DISPLACEMENT

SERVES: a couple of generations PREP TIME: lifespan COOK TIME: Until it’s ready

INGREDIENTS
Sense of smell.
12 grams of the smell of a treasured childhood that is quickly replaced by the alien smell of being a teenager.
Feeling of imbalance, self- deconstruction. Ensure you have enough of it; this is an important ingredient.
Deep thoughts and beliefs.
The Superpower to see the invisible (hidden) / The internal Compass.
Desires; the urge and longing to be yourself; genuine desires that shape who you are.
Feelings that accumulate from the conversations with your far – but – close people. The people who inhabit your heart and soul. People who draw a rainbow on your face when you think about them. People who you deeply miss. You will need a great amount of these feelings and conversations, since they are one of the vital ingredients.
Memories of the most trivial things in your life. Some people will call these memories too romantic, but they are the platform for our real selves.
DIRECTIONS
Blend. Put all the ingredients in the shiny blender made of stainless steel. Make sure to leave your fingerprints on it. Don’t wash them off! Turn the blender on. Blend all the ingredients well. Make sure to add a pinch of regret and self-flagellation while you stare and watch how all the ingredients blend.
Put this mixture into a form. You can choose any form you desire; the mass will adjust itself since it possesses high elasticity and adaptability.
Insert this form into a welcoming and warm atmosphere and wait until it turns golden.

Congratulations! You have just created a classic new identity that you can savor yourself, or share it with your friends or neighbors.

P.S. Wash the blender now. Remember, you will still see some remains of the previous blending. Always.
