"We are never who we think we are.” I agree. We are always on the making of something. This is one great way to put fiction writing in this perspective of changing. That it mirrors the idea. I agree on everything you said, it was beautifully written. One good idea, when writing fiction, like I do, I always start in "what if" questions to extract all possibilities there could be. It gives possibility to what my reality perspective can't do or think about. It reveals truth on the process. Light or dark. Good or bad.
