Attitudes towards the self

Attitudes towards the self

It has taken me a long time to construct this post and an even longer time to learn the lessons that I’m writing about within it: years in fact.

These lessons still feel very new and fragile to me, like the knowledge they contain, having just been planted, has very shallow roots. It is my hope that in exploring them here, I will better be able to process them.

So what is it that I’ve learned and…
