>I feel resistance in me. As much as it also causes my suffering, I also feel at home with my identity as an ugly person.
I feel the same way. I know I need to let go of my old identity to get the one I want, but it's so hard for some reason.

It's kind of heavy though that we are supposed to just pretend (on some level) that our individual years of suffering and hardship just didn't happen. As an example, I know it's exaggerated but just for the sake of discussion, someone went to war and fought hard, lost a lot. They return and then they're told to pretend 'Oh, you never went. You just sat in the garden and enjoyed some tea. Now everything is wonderful.'... yeah, it's not an easy process to accept.
