love you and this<3 i rlly agree! i am trying also to change the things im putting in my container and it is hard work but i want to be more proud of myself by the end of it. also doing the artist's way this summer ! so i'm looking forward to it and i'm hoping it helps
exactly ^.^ it's really hard work but i think doing things that are good for you/that make you feel proud of yourself always are but it's a nice change from sinking into the sludge...also yay!! i hope it goes well for you <3
love you love you love you!!!! truly think the world of you but i also mean it when i say i think you’re onto something here — also reminds of something i consumed once (forgot the media type) where it called into question if we really have personality trait xys or are those just stories we tell about ourselves to make sense of the things we do, and that’s really stuck with me since.
i do believe living is about cycles (but also, their existence implies the end/breaking out of them!), that you might have the propensity to do/be one thing or another but that doesn’t mean you’re doomed to it!!! this piece felt familiar and full of understanding :’)
and like you said, “the question i’ve been asking myself at every juncture, when i’m unhappy with something about myself (behaviour, preferences), is whether familiarity is a good enough reason to keep doing it, if what it costs me is my dignity/my ability to answer to myself. and that ‘myself’ might change at any moment, so what matters is my ability to keep it moving and never ever despair.” 💛💛
exactly!! like i don't think it's a blanket explainer, but after a point of repetition with behaviour/dyanmics etc. i think there are a lot of things which have to do with narrative, and the perception that they come to inform...and like you said, it's possible to interrupt the fatalism of that by just doing something else. It's all out there!
yayy i'm glad the artist's way is helping you, i've been thinking about personality a lot these last few weeks too, so i loved reading your thoughts!
thank you mariam, i'm so glad you liked the piece and that it resonated :') <3
