Well put -- in fact, your whole post was, I just didn't want to quote it all. And good for you, too -- congrats on being able to say something like that It takes guts to recognize that you "don't know" and that you're okay with it, and that you don't need to fit a pre-defined mould. That's a hard place to get to -- I still struggle with it on occasion -- but ultimately, I think, the land of the label-less is a good place to be.
