Why do so many people confuse what they do with who they are? I am not a writer, or a grill cook, or a baggage handler, or a musician, or a music instructor. Those are things I do or have done. I am Mark Starlin. I am more than my jobs, hobbies, or activites. I am different things to different people. I am a complex, multifaceted living soul.

Great essay, Bebe.
