Our actions determine who we are and, in turn, who we are determines our actions. One thing I’ve learned is 21 we lose track of who we are, we lose track of where we’re headed in life. I once have a friend who lost track. He 22 forgetting who he was in an experience that would change us both forever.

For five years, we were best friends. We 23 　a love of comic books, action figures and Star Wars. We held a going-away party for our local comic book store when it closed. We were inseparable, he and I, and there was 　24 　when it seemed nothing could tear us apart.

And then one day, it all began to change. Slowly and 25 　he turned away from it all. He stopped reading comics and watching movies, and we grew further and further apart. He sacrificed his identity 26 a darker future.

All the while, I could do 29 but ignore the fact that I was losing my friend.

I realized after the fact that I had 30 him slip away. I trusted he would find his own way back and pull through it 31 . I abandoned him when my help could have made all the 32.

Perhaps if I had spoken out and forced him to realize where he was headed, he 35 to change paths.

But I also realize that I wouldn’t 36 what happened to him to happen to me, and it’s scary to think how easily it could have. Looking back, I’m 37 to learn from his mistakes. The 38 thing I want is to abandon who I am. My identity makes me happy. I look at myself and 39 makes me appreciate life. I have 40 in myself in individuality, and the last thing I want is to serve as a scary reminder to someone else.
