'i used to think that being known would save me. now i think that being understood might not be the goal at all. maybe the goal is to remain partially unknowable.' - finally someone gets it, amazing piece!
I didn't know what I was looking for, but at first reading I've found it. So well written. You've achieved the standard George Orwell proposed for good, unpretentious writing: 'Prose clear as a window pane.' Thank you.
I was angry at having been made real in that way against my will." From acts of desperation. Reading this reminded me of this quote. (Crossing my fingers this makes sense). About our true self and it existing in the shadow, I feel like you articulated this so well. Sometimes I feel like like I'm a show, that at every instance I'm being watched and perceived and I think I understood how much people's perception mattered to who I was from a very young age, so I would try to distort it, make them perceive me the way that I want to be perceived. 😂 "Obviously that didn't work,not all observation makes us real. some just distort", very well written. Thank you for sharing this with us
i completely relate and understand you! when you learn this from such a young age, it’s something you carry with you, sometimes even unconsciously, and it’s a really, really hard ‘habit’ to let go of. thank you so much for taking the time to read this piece!!
i think this also pertains to seeing yourself in absolutes - of describing yourself in black and white adjectives that are merely simplified versions of a snapshot of who we are.
yeah you are gonna be famous mark my words
you absolute angel ♡︎!
wow this is so perfectly written, you articulate yourself soooo well. i totally agree with everything being said here

Hard science (and not just classic mechanics) and humanities must have found a common home, inside you. Astonishingly beautiful.
this means so much me more than you know, thank you so much for leaving this comment !
This is so beautiful! How did you learn to write like this and articulate yourself this well?
a lot of reading,, a lot of journal writing,,( A LOT) , and having an inner voice that never shuts up also helps haha
This is so beautiful 🤩
thank you <3
The beginning made me think of this post https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2007/03/the_psychological_uncertainty.html and the second part of IFS where Self do exist, yet as part of the system, and paradoxically is not the element underlining our uniqness but rather similarity
gorgeous, thoughtful, so enjoyable!!

I totally agree.
There's no form, there's never been.
Just a consistent view from a lens.
You nailed it!
