Literature often imagines dramatic moments of moral collapse.
Life is usually quieter.
Sometimes we become strangers to ourselves one compromise at a time. Sometimes exhaustion, grief, fear, or survival slowly erase the person we intended to become. (And the worst thing that a person in prison can become is the stereotype of people in prison!)
The question is not simply how we lose ourselves.
It is whether we can find our way back.
