How much of who and what you are is dictated by your own perception of yourself... or how other people see you?

It's something I've been thinking about a lot. I'm still trying to figure out who I am in a lot of ways. A lot of the time I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, and I didn't have any good examples to model from when I started becoming aware of myself as an individual.

But at the same time... I'm not sure how far I can push it before starting to lose something more integral, and that scares me in a way I can't fully explain.

I know this might be a lot to ask. I have just noticed that a lot of people here are very kind.

New Year

[procedere]

[Izuku is wearing some new clothes, thanks to presents from his friends, and he smiles brightly, though if one knows him well enough, they can probably tell it's not entirely there as it might usually be. While he is excited for a new year, more time with all his friends he has made here, he can't say he doesn't miss his friends back home, his classmates, Eri. His mother. All Might and Aizawa and the rest of the teachers.]

Hi everyone! I guess it's a new year now, so. If we tell each other our goals, our wishes, resolutions, whatever you want to call them, we can help support each other, right? I don't know as much about music, but I hope everyone enjoyed the concert. I know what I would want. Maybe it's kind of a lot, kind of selfish, but. There's a lot that I would ask for, or want to do!

I did hear about the tattoos. The magic ones. I hadn't really thought about them before, but how old do you have to be to get one here?

[Is there an age limit? Maybe. He's at least asking to check?]
