#eg Zac playing into the dissonance that Gorgug is a barbarian because Gorgug has this rage that makes him very uncomfortable

This realization hit me like a free-falling elevator and I think it has irreversibly rewired my brain

I am a Medication Pact Warlock, and that has made a huge difference in my life, learning how to gain proper autonomy and a meaningful adult life. But I've also neglected my ability to really strengthen my important relationships. I've had a couple of very abusive relationships (one family, one work) that left some very painful scars, but I'm not going to keep hiding from who I am and what I'm good at, and what joy I can bring to other peoples' lives.

And of course! Sliding in there like it's nothing, just dropping a piece of profound psychology, and hitting my brain like a hammer:

"There is no agreement we are more likely to break than one we have made with ourselves."

You can't give that out for free man therapists charge hundreds of dollars an hour to give out truths like that.
