"No preguntes quién soy y no me pidas que siga siendo el mismo"
— Michel Foucault

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that we should not try to label someone too closely or expect them to stay exactly the same over time. Everyone changes as they grow, learn, and experience new things. For example, think about how a teenager grows up and develops new interests, skills, and opinions as they turn into an adult. They are not the same person they were at 13 years old. In the same way, asking someone to stay the same limits their potential and denies the natural process of growth. To use this advice wisely, we should accept people as they are at any given time and support their journey of becoming who they are meant to be. This can help us build better, more understanding relationships.
