"I'm a Mad Dog Biting Myself for Sympathy" by Louise Erdrich

"Who I am is just the habit of what I always was, and who I'll be is the result" (Erdrich, 148).

This first line could have several meanings in my opinion. 

Potential Meaning 1:
If you don’t change who you are now, you will be eternally stuck in your habits.

Potential Meaning 2:
If you are bored or unhappy with yourself, you can always change.

Potential Meaning 3:

There is a big difference between the present and the future. In order to change the future, you must immediately change the present.
