Brent, a 40-year-old white male, pauses to confront the unsettling question of who he truly is. He knows the basics—his name, his gender, his average height—but the deeper parts feel blurred. He realizes he enjoys restoring old things, quiet mornings, the smell of coffee, and the steady rhythm of his workshop, yet he’s increasingly aware of how many pieces of himself he’s misplaced over the years. Standing at this crossroads, Brent sees himself as a man searching for clarity, rediscovering what still feels true, and beginning the slow process of understanding who he really is.
