Other people’s labels for you were written fast. You get to take your time on your own.

A label gets assigned in about two seconds by somebody with half their attention on you. Quiet, dramatic, lazy, the smart one. It costs them nothing and it can cost you years if you take it as a finding rather than a guess made in passing.

Find one word that got stuck to you and check whether you have been living up to it. Then do something this week that the label would say you do not do. Your own account of yourself is allowed to take months, because you are the only one with the whole file.
