My
Name
is
Emily:
A
Reflection
on
Identity
and
Self-Discovery Growing
up,
I
always
felt
a
connection
to
my
name,
Emily.
It
was
a
name
that
felt
classic
and
timeless,
yet
still
had
a
touch
of
uniqueness
to
it.
However,
as
I
got
older,
I
started
to
question
what
my
name
really
meant
and
how
much
it
really
defined
me. During
my
teenage
years,
I
went
through
a
phase
where
I
wanted
to
change
my
name
to
something
more
exotic
and
attention-grabbing.
I
felt
like
Emily

plain
and
didn't
accurately
represent
who
I
was
as
a
person.
But
as
I
entered
adulthood,
I
realized
that
my
name
was
a
part
of
my
identity
and
I
didn't
want
to
change
it.
I
embraced
my
name
as
a
symbol
of
my
roots
and
family
history. In
my
quest
for
self-discovery,
I
realized
that
my
name
wasn't
the
only
thing
that
defined
me.
I
began
to
explore
my
passions,
interests,
and
values,
and
discovered
that
my
true
identity
was
a
complex
combination
of
all
these
things.
I
realized
that
my
name
was
just
one
small
aspect
of
who
I
was
as
a
person.
It
was
important
to
me,
but
it
didn't
define
me
completely. As
I
continue
to
grow
and
evolve,
I've
come
to
realize
that
identity
is
a
journey
that
never
truly
ends.
Our
names,
our
experiences,
and
our
relationships
all
shape
who
we
are,
but
they
don't
define
us
completely.
We
have
the
power
to
define
ourselves
and
chart
our
own
paths
in
life. So,
if
you
ever
meet
a
girl
named
Emily,
don't
just
assume
you
know
everything
about
her
based
on
her
name.
Get
to
know
her
as
a
person,
and
you
might
be
surprised
at
what
you
find.
