There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience.

When I float weightless back to the surface, I'm imagining I'm becoming someone else. ... It's probably the decompression.
Yes siree, the excitement never stops.
You and the chief are the only ones out of the whole section whose bodies don't come with a warranty.
You're treated like other humans, so stop with the angst.
Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.
