Being for itself

Humans have the freedom to redefine themselves every day. For instance, college students change their majors left and right, women change their hairstyles weekly, and children change their favorite toy daily. Who’s to say that changing up singular aspects changes a person completely? This is how I understand a “being-for-itself”. We, as people and free-minded beings, have the ability to change our minds in an instant. We are only seen and categorized as how we are at a specific time period.
We are constantly changing because we have an absolute choice of self. Our transcendence allows us to venture out and change the course of our futures. For example, a split second decision can alter the course of a person’s life whether it be long-term or simple for a moment. I can use the Michael Brown case as an example; the officer that shot him had a choice before he took action. He, however, acting in the moment without thinking of the possible outcome and ruined not only his life, but the lives of others. With the power of transcendence, we have to think how our free will may not affect us, but those around us as well. We are subjects, but the things we subject ourselves to is solely based on our decisions.
