Every day is a new opportunity to wrap yourself in a new identity
But why would you want to do that?
Making a shiny new prison for yourself, I see.
Locked and loaded into a new identity.
“This is who I am - now.”
(this job, car, hobby, person, characteristic)
This is me, this is mine.
Be careful of what you claim for yourself and as your self.
You’re making boundaries in your mind that will get crushed by time.
There’s no point in putting up a facade built of memories that you’ve collected over the years, reflecting who you think you are. You are always changing.
Loosen the grip a little.
Discover who you are by watching your actions, noticing the sensations in your body.
Then let it go as it burns and grows new every day.
Get comfortable “being nobody, going nowhere”.
As always these writings serve as a reminder to myself to stay in deep connection with the limited life that we have before it’s gone.
You might need that too.
Appreciate the experience and relax into it as if it’s the only one you’ll ever have…
…or need 🤔.
