Love Bomb: The Murder of Marcus Toney, Pt. 1

Identity. The core of who we are. For some of us, we’re connected
to it from our earliest days onward. Our interests may change, but
our core never does. For others, identity is more fluid. We may
change because of the people we encounter, the things we
experience, the lessons we learn. Some of us are never in any doubt
about who we are. For others, it’s a lifelong journey to find out.
But whichever category we fall into, identity is central to being.
Unfortunately, some people never develop their own identity. For
them, there is no core; there is no essential “I.” So they tend to
be chameleons—whoever you want them to be. They may pick up and
discard new identities as easily as some of us put on a new dress.
This can make them very seductive…sometimes prone to seeing people
as tools to help them get what they want…and sometimes, very
dangerous.
