The trouble is, all those things (being broke, being a a bitch, etc.) are 'who you are'! Or, at least, are a part of 'who you are'. The idea that you can separate out 'who you are' from all the things you do and say and the events of your past is ludicrous.

Besides, I may have all these flaws, but that's not really 'who I am', is it?" Rubbish.
