I'm not at all sure that "memory is identity" is true - although, it may be.
If we assume it is, then that still leaves room for a lot of hope. We are always creating new memories of different experiences.
Who is to say that the new (sometimes good!) memories aren't also shaping our identity?
Who is to say that we can't begin to re-write our identity by accumulating new and positive relationships, experiences and feelings?
Seldom.
