Shaking It Up...

One of the unfortunate byproducts/obstacles to self-change is memory…
And not only my warped senses, but those of the people about me…
For everyone has a conception of others at points in time…
Unfortunately, these conceptions often crystallize to the point where new data is rejected…
And reinforcers…well, the bias stays the same…

At times I have been:
Passionate, dumb, brilliant, cold, callous, compassionate, smooth, rough, caring, obstinate, warm, overpowering, lackluster, depressed, excited, joyous, enraged, lovely, ugly, annoying, plain, witty, handsome, good, evil, self-destructive, self-constructive, abusive, wonderful, supportive, magickal, mundane, full of myself, tedious, happy, engaging, giving, terrible, tolerant, foreboding, self-effacing, sarcastic, cynical, wise, and in love.

What have you been? Who are you now? What will you be tomorrow? What do others type you as? At what points in time do they fixate your personality? Where do you fixate their personalities?

What points in time are You/I/They drawing from and what points in time are You/I/They ignoring???

Ultimately, we are all alone…and in this existential quandary we are all in it together…

Funny isn’t it?

Perhaps we all need to give one another a break and really look at ourselves…

I know I do.

Peace…
