#the family therapy chant??? me core

[pollenallergie]

i understand that kendall isn’t the youngest roy sibling and that he was also on drugs for like most of episode 7 (season 1), but his behavior during that episode is so incredibly youngest-sibling-coded. i have genuinely never related to him more than during the latter half of that episode.

Over 100! Damn, girl, I bow to your ideas.

For WIP ask game, please tell me more about:

FA Curtis part 2 - M&H spin off

I know 🙈. All abandoned projects, waiting patiently to be finished. Couldn’t help but chant “shame, shame, shame.” In my head.

So Curtis I my mob dom from my Family Affairs series.

The base story for this project stems from writing I’ve done during a period I went through therapy after an impactful traumatic event that shaped me in who I am today. So parts of this story are extremely close to my heart and everything I’ve written on paper back then, I still own and is safely tucked into cabinet where I hold all my old writing. Storylines grew, series expanded and developed into much more than I could’ve imagined thanks to @wakingbeauty and @dreamlessinparis.

For anyone not familiar with Talk To Me. Curtis is part of the mob gang ran by his cousin. Duchess is his neighbour and they have regular fun evenings together as friends. One thing leads to another. Shit hits the fan along with sexy stuff. It’s a hefty one though, 17k words.

Anyway - this second part follows up on that. Working through that trauma, Duchess loses herself in trying to find coping mechanisms and ways to keep her from falling asleep (the event played out again in a nightmare form). She ends up suggesting multiple things for Curtis to try out that she’s comfortable with trying. Before settling on something they both fully agree to and fits both of them as a dom and sub.

Anyway, enough of me chatting about this, sexy yet dark stuff under the cut, read at your own risk. Plus a little, not connected yet, cute bit. Totally unedited, so yes, multiple mistakes to be found probably.

TW: sexual assault reliving.

Curtis rocked his hips meeting yours, you could see the flashes with each rut. Trying to keep seeing Curtis in the features in front of you became harder the closer you got. Your chest rapidly pounded, making your breathing harder. Hands pressed against his chest, trying to stop him as the words became lost in the limber spot of your mind.

Too late, you cried and started to fight him. His face morphed into the one you had so desperately wanted to forget. Your screams filled the air, begging and pleading to make it stop.

Everything stopped as you cried and squeezed your eyes shut curling up into a ball the moment you had a chance.

Flinching at the contact of his hand on your skin in order to retract it again.

“Leave me alone.” You sobbed hiding your face into a pillow.

“It’s okay, I’m here.” Curtis cooed. “It’s me, Curtis.”

“Go away.”

You felt the mattress bouncing back, you could hear the click of the door. Tears uncontrollably streamed down your cheeks as you cried into the fabric. Dirty and ashamed of the power he still had over you.

Heaving at the thought of the events, how he had rutted his hips at an uncontrollable rapid pace that wasn’t pleasant. How you had begged and pleaded for him to stop, how you had struggled against the restraints. Feeling him smirk as he took in your helpless feeling. Getting off on your struggling sobs as he drilled your core at the vigorous tempo.

The way he had told you, you had deserved it to be treated like such a slut. That taking something from Curtis was the best thing he had ever done. That seeing him suffer for his wrongdoings was all his pleasure while he fucked his girl.

Your body froze at the cold cloth being pressed against your clammy forehead. Curling up into a ball even more as you shut your eyes. The horrible memories flooding back at a rapid pace. A door unlocked that should’ve been closed.

“You can’t keep buying me stuff Curtis.” You protested as he pushed you down on the small bench.

“You’re worth every penny.”

You watched him remove the lid of the shoebox. The gorgeous heels revealed, the strap having a giant bow on them. You had seen them weeks ago in a magazine thinking they’d go well with the dress you had chosen for the upcoming wedding event.

“I love them, thank you.” You smiled as you checked over your outfit and showed off your feet in the mirror.

——

You giggled at the tickled of his beard on your skin. Your panties being pulled down, watching him struggle getting them around the bows. “Curtis, my shoes.”

“I bought you these shoes, so I can fuck you in them - duchess.” He didn’t miss a beat and his words only added to your growing desire for him.

Grabbing your ankle he lifted your leg, kissing your ankle with soft lips working his way down paying extra attention to roam the skin of your thigh. Gentle soft kisses placed with intention. This wasn’t his normal strategy, but you welcomed the change.

[ CHARACTER STUDY; SAITAMA & GENOS ]

THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS CAN GO EITHER PLATONICALLY VIEWED OR ROMANTICALLY FOR THE DUO. i don’t care how you interpret it. go nuts! just know this is long as fuck.

I’m so GLAD Genos and Saitama have each other now. Without each other,,, genos would be wrecklessly trying to push himself to the point of near death and saitama would be wallowing in his own depression but now saitama has something to look forward to talking wise and genos has someone who cares so much about his well-being that he refuses to let him try and basically kill himself like the way he used to. now genos has someone who actually worries if he'll make it through a fight instead of just trying to self destruct at everything he just about loses to. he has been given a safer and more realistic goal to look forward to and he's become more relaxed. saitama's been able to be more expressive since he's constantly with genos, and he doesn't feel as empty because he feels like he has a reason to live now. it's clear that when they're apart saitama worries endlessly for genos (and once worries that something horrific would happen to genos if he were by himself) but without genos around he immediately goes back to his old, lonely ways and feels so unbearably sad and lonely that even king's like "shit man. u ok". and guess what? the moment he sees genos is safe and not dead or hanging on by a string, he’s IMMEDIATELY far happier and even visibly cheers up, and king’s like “WOAH you look awfully refreshed” and saitama’s like “yeah dude my head’s suddenly clear” and if that isn’t love then i don’t know what is. 

Of course kuseno cares if genos almost dies, but the thing is, kuseno seems to be just as bent on finding that cyborg as genos is. I feel like... though kuseno still cares for genos PERIOD, he seems to be pretty iffy on the fact that genos has been given more realistic goals to shoot for by saitama and even comments "you're seriously trying to aim for be s rank 1? is that what your master told you to do? what happened to getting vengence against the mad cyborg? where's your passion for that?" and genos is just. shocked and doesn't even reply for a moment and he's like "uh.. i mean.. OF COURSE i still want vengence but i gotta do what sensei wants.." etcBut I do think kuseno notes that this is for the better anyways, iffy feelings or not, because at least genos isn't basiclaly dragging himself in every single week and in tatters, because hell, while genos is strong even when saitama and him first met what was his solution to battles he couldn't win, and even sometimes now? use my core, self destruct, im not worthy of defeating the borg if im losing to this, time to end it, sorry dr kuseno, family, master etc Now Saitama steps in, and I was just REMINDED OF THIS SCENE IN PARTICULAR but like the arc where saitama knocks out genos in the middle of him and sonic’s fight? He was concerned for genos and as someone who rarely expresses concern or care for others, don't you think it's very telling that he stepped in on his own volition to make sure genos didn't get hurt to beat sonic's ass?even sonic comments "are you trying to protect him?" and saitama's like "yeah, of course" and he's clearly getting serious because he doesn't want genos hurt. hell, he even basically ghosted fubuki the moment he saw genos and sonic fighting! saitama really does worry a lot for genos and some of the things he worries about are really concerning..  but this isn't the first time he's been pretty scared for genos. remember the deep sea king fight? he was afraid genos bit the dust there for a it and even visibly relaxes when he finds out genos is okay and he says "Don't ever scare me like that again!" As for the saitama part of things, it's not hard to see the difference of before genos vs after genos. Genos brought color to his world and gave him company, and it's what he claims he never wanted but it's clear how much it helped him. I feel like if it weren't for genos, saitama would be just as shelled up if not more than he used to be -- he didn't really have much of anything to do and it's obvious he was starting to get bored of... life, to put it lightly. But when genos basically asserts himself into his life? he starts to feel again. he's not moping all the time, he has somebody to talk to instead of harmfully isolating himself. he's the kind of guy who was alone with his thoughts for too long -- we get glimpses of it every now and them, but we can clearly tell that he's got a lot of sad emotional baggage. it all stems from being too strong, ofc. but, still, he is DEEPLY troubled by it and life basically lost all meaning for him. any farther and i feel like he would've legitimately felt like existing was useless, though with a body like his i highly doubt he could take... action. And the longer he's alone with his thoughts, the worse he gets, and he just becomes so... mopey. forgive me if i sound repetitive, but like!! genos comes in, and all of that is GONE within a few days. He must've spilled about how lonely he felt to genos at some point before he started getting closer to him -- based on the canon info where saitama actually got genos to cry uncontrollably when he told him how lonely he felt which had to have been some serious shit because. genos does NOT cry. with someone else to keep him away from his thoughts, he started to lighten up. at the beginning of the series it's safe to say he was pretty damn standoffish -- but now? now he's actually attempting to socialize with other people, he actually hangs out with more people whether he wants to admit it or not. He's become a bit softer (not much) to those he doesn't know, and DEFINITELY more expressive -- ESPECIALLY AROUND genos. he's become more thoughtful -- he doesn't mope about his powers much anymore, he does anything and everything with genos because he can talk about it and lose himself in the moment. At least, that's what i like to think. and all around... he's found a new passion for life. the dude isn't just wandering around aimlessly now, he's hanging out with genos and he's living to protect the citizens and genos after he moved in. Yeah, he's always gonna have a strong moral compass and save people, but the joy and the meaning of such actions fall to black and white until genos shows up again. now he's got a reason to keep fighting. he has a reason to get out of bed and feel like his strength means something -- because he can use it to protect others and protect genos even if nobody but genos is thankful of it. As much as he detests the attention he gets from Genos -- think about it, don't you think it helps to have someone think you're not totally useless? That your work does mean something to at least one person even if the world basically gives you the finger? Because I don't think saitama realizes it, but Genos is the one thing keeping him going in the hero job. I honestly think he would have quit when everyone chanted at him to give it up after destroying that meteor if it wasn't for genos -- he saved everyone's lives, and genos was the only one to see it. genos is the one that gets him to calm down and realize that if they don't care, that doesn't matter -- he'd always be there for saitama And anyways, the gist of all this goes back to my first point -- it's amazing that they have each other now, because imagine all the development and all the ways they've been improving just never existing.  Without Saitama,  genos would still be the same wreckless kid trying to throw himself without thought into wreckless battles. Saitama has helped him heed himself on that, and to relax and stop taking everything so seriously. Genos still takes some things too literally., like the 10-20 word limit when talking to saitama, but I feel like half the time, Saitama couldn't really care less.  Without Genos, Saitama would be the same old sad sack of hero he used to be, holed up and his depression worsening because he hardly ever leaves the apartment but for what? Sales? Manga? Sometimes Monsters if he happens to run into them? He doesn't do much of anything and it took a heavy toll on his mental health, but now Genos is there to get him out, to possibly even comfort him or just support him if he needs it. He gets Saitama out of the house, involved ina  lot of other activities, and when Genos isn't around, Saitama... doesn't fare too well at all. //COUGHS LOUDLY@ THE MANGA REFERENCED EARLIER  (( and personally, despite saitama coming off as almost always :^| i feel like the poor guy really really overthinks things. you may think there's nothing going on in there, but his thoughts really are dangerous for him  to be alone with )) Romance or not, there’s no denying this. Like, I DARE anyone to try to say they would be good w/o each other -- I feel like so much of the fandom takes this kinda.. not seriously? It’s not really meant as a dig or anything, but a lot of ppl take what they have for granted.. 

Saitama just wants to be carefree and he’s still very much lax, and even though he knows he’s a shitty teacher, I think that he does a great job of teaching genos that there’s more to life than REVENGE, SELF DESTRUCTION, and FIGHTING. He teaches him to enjoy the little things in life, and Genos rejuvenates his passion for heroism. I feel like Genos wants to be strong physically and that’s why he so heavily admires Saitama, too, but that’s a bit off topic.   It’s something Saitama’s been missing for a long time, and something Genos never had -- he just wants Genos to feel as human as possible, and I feel like he tries all too hard to get Saitama to open up as well. Genos may  not be the best at therapy or whatever, but seeing as he’s the person Saitama is closest to, he definitely does want Saitama to feel like he’s never alone and I just. Cannot stress how IMPORTANT THIS IS. Saitama’s got a history of bottling everything up and avoiding confrontation, But Genos? The cyborg wears his heart on his SLEEVE, even if he probably wouldn’t view it that way himself.  Thanks to him, Saitama can be himself. He doesn’t have to hide away what he really acts like -- not that he cared much for it anyways -- but around genos he can be.. childish. He can be difficult. He can be whatever he wants, and no matter what, Genos will be there to support him. And I really, really admire that. ONE & Murata did them the best justice i’ve ever seenwith a relationship like theirs. And if there was ever anyone to get romantic with for them -- not even as a shipper, but from a story pov -- saigenos makes so much more sense. They bring out the BEST in each other, and they live together, and... well,, THIS post sums up all my feelings on the matter.

Genos wants to help Saitama in whatever way he can. Saitama wants to make sure Genos lives out his life like any normal person would. You get the gist?

sO. IN CONCLUSION, Saitama and genos may not realize it.... but they definitely need each other. Them meeting was for the best of both of their lives -- and without each other there's no way in HELL they'd be doing as good as they are now.

Spine realignment: It’s great when it works! :D

See below the cut for details (short version: I’m doing really good today, but cptsd is a total bitch when it acts up)

Yesterday, after I saw the chiropractor, I had something of a prolonged crying spell/had to spend some time processing negative emotions and severe feelings of depression.

Because this time, my neck was really, really stiff, and when it got realigned, there were some significantly loud snapping or cracking sounds.

Which is not, in and of itself, very frightening - it’s happened at other appointments

But when the sounds bring up memories of when some asshole tried to break your neck when you were four?

It’s not exactly fun.

Short version: My parents and I are not on speaking terms - mostly because they can’t handle the truth (movie quotation intentional). About two years ago, I uncovered some pretty ugly repressed memories that included being a rape survivor (at least twice) before the age of 6. 

As time goes on, I’ve managed to recall more details (which is not fun) but yes, it would seem that when I was four, I sat back up and cracked my neck back into place after the asshole tried to kill me. (Doctors have told me that it’s actually incredibly difficult to break someone’s neck and kill them, and that it was possible for me to move my neck back into place - but like, only just barely). For what it’s worth my success at coming back from near-death took the jackass by complete surprise, and his subsequent attempts immediately after were unsuccessful (obviously, as I’m here typing this now). He ended up telling me that if I told anyone, he’d kill my family.

The second attack was worse for a lot of reasons, but that attacker (It was a different asshole) tried to smother me as a grand finale to that nightmare. From what I can remember, I played dead convincingly enough where he left without actually accomplishing that goal (again, sort of obvious, since I’m here at my computer).

*insert a weak attempt at humor here as a hard-core processing/defense mechanism*

Wheeeee. I’m a badass. (I don’t feel like a badass. I really don’t. About 95% of the time when this all hits me at once, I just want to throw up/hide under blankets/cry until I fall asleep.)

But on some level, I knew what had occurred. There were certain things that scared me that shouldn’t have, words and phrases I never used (they’re crude and vile and honest-to-god-evil) but kept hearing in the back of my mind, and most of all, I’ve felt worthless, repulsive, and frightened for most of my life. 

Unsurprisingly, I repressed the above memories right afterwards (apparently it’s a survival instinct). But growing up with a narcissist for a dad and a mother who loathed me because I looked like her younger self (aka geez did she have unaddressed issues of her own), I didn’t have a safe support system where I could even process the memories, much less fullly realize what had happened. My parents were/are abusive assholes (physically, mentally, emotionally), so that was its’ own thing to live through/realize was abuse/then take action to get away from them and become a healthier individual. 

Oi.

Oh, and if anyone tells you that the brain ‘cant’t bury it for that long’, I give to you the following situation: When I was 20 years old, I was walking down a hallway and something in my head said: ‘You know what that neighbor did.” I stopped walking, put my hands up to head, pressed down on my temples, and chanted: ‘Forget. Forget. Forget. Forget.’ Until. I. Did. And then I kept walking down the hallway, to get to class on time.

So that’s a thing.

On the good side I’m in a much better place now (though to be honest, that’s not a difficult standard to beat). I’m married to an absolutely awesome guy who’s just as nerdy as me, and we have an absolutely gorgeous baby girl who just turned three months old today.) 

But holy shit. Yesterday it felt like a bus just up and hit me - and then backed up and hit me again.

As I said, I’ve taken distinct and emphatic steps to distance myself from the abusers in my past, and to start addressing the (numerous) aspects of myself that need healing. I’m on meds and in therapy for complex ptsd, and even though it’s been difficult, it’s also been really, really good. <3

And the really weird thing is that today, I’m feeling so much better! Then again, yesterday I did have a good cry and then I watched some more of Stargate (SG-1) with my husband and daughter. And now we’re just hanging out and listening to Disney songs while I bake apple pie. <3 So yeah - life is good. It just took awhile to get here. It’s totally worth it, though :-)

I’m on and off Tumblr, but if you’d like to PM me, I’d love to talk to you ;-)

Thanks again for reading. It means a lot that I can post stuff on here. <3

[ CHARACTER STUDY; SAITAMA & GENOS ]

THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS CAN GO EITHER PLATONICALLY VIEWED OR ROMANTICALLY FOR THE DUO. i don’t care how you interpret it. go nuts! just know this is long as fuck. This is reposted with some edits from my archived blog. 

I’m so GLAD Genos and Saitama have each other now. Without each other,,, genos would be wrecklessly trying to push himself to the point of near death and saitama would be wallowing in his own depression but now saitama has something to look forward to talking wise and genos has someone who cares so much about his well-being that he refuses to let him try and basically kill himself like the way he used to. now genos has someone who actually worries if he’ll make it through a fight instead of just trying to self destruct at everything he just about loses to. he has been given a safer and more realistic goal to look forward to and he’s become more relaxed.

Of course kuseno cares if genos almost dies, but the thing is, kuseno seems to be just as bent on finding that cyborg as genos is for his sake. He’s surprised by the fact that genos has been given more realistic goals to shoot for by saitama and even comments “you’re trying to aim for be s rank 1? is that what your master told you to do? what happened to getting vengence against the mad cyborg? where’s your passion for that?” and genos is just. shocked and doesn’t even reply for a moment and he’s like “uh.. i mean..

he starts to feel again. he’s not moping all the time (unless genos is away for a long period of time), he has somebody to talk to instead of harmfully isolating himself. he’s the kind of guy who was alone with his thoughts for too long – we get glimpses of it every now and them, but we can clearly tell that he’s got a lot of sad emotional baggage. it all stems from being too strong, ofc. but, still, he is DEEPLY troubled by it and life basically lost all meaning for him. any farther and i feel like he would’ve legitimately felt like existing was useless, though with a body like his i highly doubt he could take… action. And the longer he’s alone with his thoughts, the worse he gets, and he just becomes so… mopey. forgive me if i sound repetitive, but like!! genos comes in, and all of that is GONE within a few days. He must’ve spilled about how lonely he felt to genos at some point before he started getting closer to him – based on the canon info where saitama actually got genos to cry uncontrollably when he told him how lonely he felt which had to have been some serious shit. Granted, Genos IS softer and more emotional for those he cares about, but.. still. with someone else to keep him away from his thoughts, he started to lighten up. at the beginning of the series it’s safe to say he was pretty damn standoffish – but now? now he’s actually attempting to socialize with other people, he actually hangs out with more people whether he wants to admit it or not. He’s become a bit softer (not much) to those he doesn’t know, and DEFINITELY more expressive – ESPECIALLY AROUND genos. he’s become more thoughtful – he doesn’t mope about his powers much anymore, he does anything and everything with genos because he can talk about it and lose himself in the moment. At least, that’s what i like to think. and all around… he’s found a new passion for life. the dude isn’t just wandering around aimlessly and being mega depressed now, he’s hanging out with genos and he’s living to protect the citizens and genos after he moved in. Yeah, he’s always gonna have a strong moral compass and save people, but the joy and the meaning of such actions fall to black and white until genos shows up again. now he’s got a reason to keep fighting. he has a reason to get out of bed and feel like his strength means something – because he can use it to protect others and protect genos even if nobody but genos is thankful of it. As much as he detests the attention he gets from Genos – think about it, don’t you think it helps to have someone think you’re not totally useless? That your work does mean something to at least one person even if the world basically gives you the bird? Because I don’t think saitama realizes it, but Genos is the one thing keeping him going in the hero job. I honestly think he would have quit when everyone chanted at him to give it up after destroying that meteor if it wasn’t for genos – he saved everyone’s lives, and genos was the only one to see it. genos is the one that gets him to calm down and realize that if they don’t care, that doesn’t matter – he’d always be there for saitama And anyways, the gist of all this goes back to my first point – it’s amazing that they have each other now, because imagine all the development and all the ways they’ve been improving just never existing! 

Without Saitama,  genos would still be the same wreckless dude trying to throw himself without thought into intense battles. Saitama has helped him heed himself on that, and to relax and stop taking everything so seriously. Without Genos, Saitama would be the same old sad sack of hero he used to be, holed up and his depression worsening because he hardly ever leaves the apartment but for what? Sales? Manga? Sometimes Monsters if he happens to run into them? He doesn’t do much of anything and it took a heavy toll on his mental health, but now Genos is there to get him out, to possibly even comfort him or just support him if he needs it. He gets Saitama out of the house, involved ina  lot of other activities, and when Genos isn’t around, Saitama… doesn’t fare too well at all. //COUGHS LOUDLY@ THE MANGA REFERENCED EARLIER

( and personally, despite saitama coming off as almost always :^| i feel like the poor guy really really overthinks things. you may think there’s nothing going on in there, but his thoughts really are dangerous for him  to be alone with )

Saitama just wants to be carefree and he’s still very much lax, and even though he knows he’s a shitty teacher, I think that he does a great job of teaching genos that there’s more to life than REVENGE, SELF DESTRUCTION, and FIGHTING. He teaches him to enjoy the little things in life, and Genos rejuvenates his passion for heroism.

It’s something Saitama’s been missing for a long time, and something Genos never had – he just wants Genos to feel as human as possible, and I feel like he tries all too hard to get Saitama to open up as well. Genos may  not be the best at therapy or whatever, but seeing as he’s the person Saitama is closest to, he definitely does want Saitama to feel like he’s never alone and I just. Cannot stress how IMPORTANT THIS IS. Saitama’s got a history of bottling everything up and avoiding confrontation, But Genos? The cyborg wears his heart on his SLEEVE, even if he probably wouldn’t view it that way himself. Thanks to him, Saitama can be himself. He doesn’t have to hide away what he really acts like – not that he cared much for how he comes off to others anyways – but around genos he can be.. childish. He can be comfortable. He can be difficult. He can be whatever he wants, and no matter what, Genos will be there to support him. And I really, really admire that. ONE & Murata did them the best justice i’ve ever seen with a relationship like theirs. Genos wants to help Saitama in whatever way he can. Saitama wants to make sure Genos lives out his life like any normal person would. Genos knows how to live again, and Saitama has a reason to live.

sO. IN CONCLUSION, Saitama and genos may not realize it…. but they definitely need each other. Them meeting was for the best of both of their lives – and without each other there’s no way in HELL they’d be doing as good as they are now.

Festering Anger

Do you have anger festering inside you? What is your process of digesting anger? We are a culture that has suppressed our anger and it seethes out of us at the most inopportune time. We cannot continue to ignore our negative feelings and put on a façade that all is rainbows and unicorns when in fact it is not. Pretending to be what we are not creates a deep fragmentation and separation of our soul essence from our psyche. I have worked for years with people and observed first hand this energetic confliction between the outside mask and the deeper inner turmoil. I can feel emotion, very specifically the darker and heavier ones this is why my work is so centered on transmuting lower frequency energy into higher frequency energy; teaching others how to take off the mask so they more clearly see their true nature is part of that process. Before learning to discern my ability to feel so particularly others emotional body it was incredibly confusing to listen to someone talk with a smile on their face but feel an oozing of anger, despair or suffering. I openly share myself with the world so others can see firsthand that it is okay to be broken, damaged, or whatever unsavory thing we consider ourselves in that moment. What happens when we cloak our true nature is eventually we forget and all the things we covered up and pushed down move out of our conscious awareness until triggered by usually an outside source. Now we are consumed with shame and guilt about this unsavory explosion of deeply repressed anger aka grief, loss, and heartache. We live in a time and society that has for years tried to use analytical approaches to emotional problems. No matter how much we try to analyze our emotions it WILL not shift the frequency of them, we can reflect on our emotions but we must follow up our reflections with a process. Talking about our feelings absolutely can help us process what we are experiencing, but to harness the emotions takes more than talking. I first hand had the experience of working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital for years and watched the talk and medication process; for years I watched the same people return back to the same system. This was fundamental in my studies because I got to see firsthand, these people are not healing they are barely surviving; they are returning back year after year with same the same shit. Why? There is a deeper process needed, and all those who have worked in this field and can be honest about the cycle of returning clients would tell you the same. Now we all have different needs to address different things, but universally the underlining first step is actually to feel our emotions. Only when we make space to actually feel without judgment or analytics can we more clearly discern what the fuck is driving the train on a core level. Often our true nature is hostile with anger because you’ve come across shit ass people who have walked all over you and you didn’t have the skill set to set healthy boundaries and stop the cycle of abuse. Our true nature often reveals we have a deep desire to be our eccentric selves but society, our family and friends have made us feel that is not socially acceptable to not align with the norm. People do wild things when in a state of fear, and we my friends live a large part of our existence in fear. Our defense systems are larger than life, cutting our own throats by sabotaging any chances of having close connections. Our egos over developed to survive the kill or by killed mind set ingrained even in our big body religions. Our lineages have been killed for simply believing differently than another, wars raging people dying all because they were different. Fucking Wild what we as humans have experienced and continue to experience. Anger, fear, loss, grief what do we doooooo with it. We cannot possibly continue to think medicating whether with pills or drugs (all the same) is enough to heal the deeper core issues. Not to say medicine doesn’t have its place and means to help with so much, but it is a sliver of what is needed to get to the core. If you are numbing and suppressing it will ooze out and most likely on those closest to you. You may find yourself screaming at your children for being children, flipping out on your partner just because they are the first face you see after a day of slaving for the cooperate man, kicking your dog because he had to go pee and no one was around to let him out. When you read this it certainly will bring up a memory for you and be followed with shame or guilt which is incredibly uncomfortable. Be compassionate with yourself, we humans have had a hard go and we lack very necessary coping skills and purification processes to assist us in digesting life experiences. For those of you who know me, you have seen firsthand how powerful my commitment to exploring other processes has changed me. I once was a very dark, broken and fragmented being. And as CRAZY as some people find me now, it is simply because I freed myself from the norm and structures that continued cycles of old paradigms. Damn right I sought out the ancient wisdoms of our world in hopes not only to heal myself but the collective force of the human race. Sweat lodges, Buddhist temples, wailing ceremonies, tantric breathing practices, past life regressions, a hundred million types of yoga, religious scriptural studies, prayer in all forms, ritual bathing , fire circles, sacred rites of many different cultures, sound therapy, energy work and this will never stop for me because the shit is working. I dance, scream, cry, chant, pray and I am guided deeper into a universal knowing. My time in deep darkness has been a great gift of wisdom and my return to the light a great gift of grace. Darkness has a deep wisdom, when we observe it we can learn from it parts of our nature, the history of our race and how we have become what we see in the world. When we can look at our dark parts we can learn to work towards combining these forces light and dark to work in harmony for our greater good. Light and dark create this world. Contemplate this, we cannot see in total darkness nor can we see in total light. In the night the moon provides light, in the day the sun cast shadows. When in balance we see both aspects and we learn from both aspects. Sat Nam my beautiful beings- Angelic 333

Dr. Lynda Spann: Revolutionizing the World of Couples’ Counseling

In a small, cozy office on South Pearl Street, a revolution has begun. Not a traditional one, with throngs of people chanting and marching. This one begins on a couch, with a warm smile and a conversation. These little moments are the catalyst for something much greater. This is the Lesbian Couples Institute (LCI), and it’s blazing a new path in the hetero-dominated world of counseling.

Dr. Lynda Spann will be your guide. Accompanied by her wife and business partner, Dr. Lisa Yaeger, and armed with decades of personal and professional experience, she leads the charge into uncharted territory: therapy created for lesbian couples, by lesbian couples. It’s a feat that many heterosexual therapists claim to have conquered, advertising their inclusivity and open mindedness, but they could never know the complexities and nuances of queer love that only come with lived experience—it’s just not in their wheelhouse.

DR. LYNDA SPANN (LEFT) AND HER WIFE AND BUSINESS PARTNER DR. LISA YAEGER (RIGHT)

For over 20 years, Dr. Spann has been a marriage counselor to all couples, but in 2018, she created LCI . Wanting to expand her innovative practice beyond the borders of the Denver area, Dr. Spann is now launching the LCI’s first online group coaching program for lesbian couples. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Spann to talk about her new course, queer love, and the future of the Lesbian Couples Institute. Enjoy!

What are some of the ways heterosexual therapists might not be the best option for lesbian or queer couples?

I think at one level, a relationship is a relationship, but at a whole other level, there are nuances and differences for lesbian couples, and part of that is just our experience of being in a marginalized group, a minority. So whenever a queer person or a couple can’t come to an office like this where they just know, “Alright, we can be ourselves, we can talk about all things, even sexual, and not get as weirded out as if we’re sitting with a straight therapist…” It creates a whole area of anxiety for gay couples.

There’s a spirit of wanting to help, but because straight therapists haven’t lived the experience of dealing with being in or out of the closet and how family members respond, or if you come from a religious family, how that impacts a couple if there’s a discrepancy between how “out” each person in the couple is. That can create some very unique challenges for them, and straight therapists just don’t get that.

What are some of the differences that you’ve noticed between lesbian couples from heterosexual couples?

Women’s brains are different than men’s brains, and when therapists are used to working with heterosexual couples, there’s that specific heterosexual dance. It’s different when you have two female brains in the room. Whether it’s genetic or more socialized, women tend to be more feeling oriented, more sensitive … I think one of the things that’s true for lesbian couples in general is we have a tendency to merge much more quickly, and stay there longer. It’s an important part of relationship development but then for relationships to grow, there has to be the next stage, which is “Oh yeah, we’re different people; we’re separate; we’re together, and we’re separate.”

Another area that’s different is conversations about sexual intimacy. There’s often a greater decline in sexual intimacy frequency for lesbian couples that have been together for a long time than their straight counterparts. The term you’ve probably come across is “lesbian bed death”—I don’t like the term; I would never want to be prescriptive of something like that like. But testosterone is a big sex driver, and particularly for post-menopausal women, sex drive can tank, so that can be challenging. It can happen in lesbian couples where one is like, “Let’s keep this going; come hither!” and the other one’s like, “Ehhh, not feeling it.” That’s something that’s often a topic for couples that come to therapy, and they’re much more comfortable talking about it with a lesbian therapist.

Did you draw on any personal experiences when you were creating the LCI?

There was a period where I needed some counseling when I was in Pueblo, it wasn’t couples counseling but post relationship breakup counseling… I really wanted to talk to somebody that would totally get me and I didn’t find that person. There was some awkwardness to it. I was starting a relationship at the time with my now wife and the therapist I saw, she kept saying “well statistically the odds are that this relationship isn’t going to work out”, and that really came from her bias. Lisa had at that point only been in relationships with men so [the therapist] made a lot of assumptions, that this was doomed, and if it would’ve been a queer therapist, that wouldn’t have happened.

Why might some couples consider your new online group coaching program versus traditional one-on-one in person therapy?

Well first of all, they may not live here. So location, if they’re not here … if they have a busy lifestyle and it’s hard to get to a therapist office. [The course is] on demand, so they get to consume the course material, which is a big bunch of videos and workbooks, on their own time, when it’s convenient for them and their family. The aspect of being part of group coaching with other lesbian couples that are trying to learn how to have amazing relationships also builds a community aspect. They get to share the journey with other peers.

The other thing is that when you go to a therapist’s office, you’re not usually taking any kind of recording device and people don’t take notes for therapy because it interrupts the flow. Our memories are such that sometimes we only remember a little bit of what happened, especially if you show up, and you’re nervous about something or scared about a topic that’s going to come up. With an online program, you get to go back and watch the training videos as often as you want, so there can be that repetition that really helps you learn.

My purpose with building the online coaching program was to create something skill based. It’s not just about, “Let’s have a conversation about emotions and leave the room feeling good”… and then what? It’s about, “Let me equip you with the skills and the tools and the agreements that you need that are going to serve you for your lifetime so that you can have a very secure, safe, and expansive relationship.

What are some of the core skills you focus on?

We’re big on communication skills. I did a survey on, “What are your biggest struggles?” and communication came up on top, so that’s a big one. But also things like, how do we stay connected? What do we do to feel like there’s that emotional connection, even when life is shitty, and we’re under stress? How do we stay emotionally, and sometimes physically, connected?

I also teach some about how our brains work. I think that some understanding of negativity bias, what happens to us when we feel threatened—like, do we go into fight or flight? Do we freeze? And how can couples help each other when that happens?Skills around really coming up with goals and agreements that are principle based that help you take care of each other for the long haul.

How do you want to see the LCI grow in the future?

I think we’ll bring some other therapists and coaches on board. One idea I had is to do multi-couple retreats either here in Denver or a different location that would be a three day thing where Lisa and I are the leaders and 10, 20, 40 lesbian couples come and have just a really cool weekend experience that’s focused on reconnection, having a great relationship, and all the relationship skills we teach. That’s one dream we have.

PODCAST: Naval Ravikant & Tim Ferris Podcast - NOTES FROM TRANSCRIPT I FOUND WORTH WRITING NOTES ABOUT

Tim Ferriss: Well, this would be great. The one I’m going to read would be a great one for people to get really upset about. Or I would find it comical to look at the comments of people are upset, but the line is this: Imagine how effective you would be if you weren’t anxious all the time.

Why did you put this out? And have you seen highly anxious people become people who experienced very little anxiety? Is that something you’ve seen, but first, why did you put this up? What was behind it? And then have you seen anxious people become largely, I guess an anxious or non-anxious people.

Naval Ravikant: Yeah. Most of my tweets are not very deliberate or thought through. What’s happening is I’ve been thinking about some concept for months, years, whatever it’s been percolating. And then all of a sudden it’ll come to me. It’s sort of like one pithy sentence where I’m like, oh, this is how I will remember this thing. This is how I can distill this down into a pointer for myself, so that when I need to make decisions, I can retrieve that whole line of reasoning.

And so where this comes from is basically everybody, after a certain age, I am taking responsibility for my own happiness and peace and quality of life. And one of the things you learn after you make money is that money doesn’t make you happier. It takes care of your money problems, but it’s not necessarily going to put you in a place where you’re in some kind of bliss all the time.

In fact, there’s nothing out there that will make you happy forever. So you sort of have to take responsibility for guiding yourself in such a way that your mental state ends up where you want it. And so I’ve been working on my mental state and I have—working is a big word. I don’t even want to say I’ve been working on it, but I would say my mental state has gotten to a place which is much better than it used to be.

And people will often say, “Well I don’t want to do that because it’ll take away my ambition. I want to succeed right now.” And so I’ve thought about that a fair bit. And is that true or not? Well, it certainly, for me in the last few years, since I’ve become calmer, my effectiveness has gone through the roof and I’ve been more successful, but it’s hard to disambiguate that from, well, also, maybe you just later in your career, you’re in a better position for it and that’s a valid criticism.

So one of the things I’ve been trying to figure out is like, would I have been as successful and it’s hard to do the counterfactual obviously if I wasn’t as anxious, because anxiety comes from fear and it’s also a motivator. It makes you get off your butt. And one of the ways to make the anxiety go away, at least until the next piece of anxiety comes along, is to go do something about it.

So what is the role of anxiety? Well, firstly, I noted that pretty much everybody’s anxious all the time. It’s a rare human being who isn’t anxious and it makes sense. We’re alpha predators. We took over this earth and domesticated or killed all the other animals. And we did that by being the most paranoid, the most fearful, the most angry predators this world has ever seen.

So anxiety is built into the core of who we are. In fact, you could argue that all the mind does all day long is fear-based scenario planning for survival, and then maybe a little bit of green for replication. So anxiety is at the core level of who we are, but certainly some people are more anxious than others. There’s no question. And some people seem to get much calmer about it.

So which is more useful for effectiveness? So assuming that your goal is your motivation is intrinsic. You’re doing the thing because you love it or because you really want it, and you can separate that motivation from anxiety. Then I think you can take on certain superpowers. And we kind of all intrinsically know this. If you look at Samurai warriors, Miyamoto Musashi is in a duel with somebody else, you know that the person who is calmer is going to win.

In all those movies, it’s the one who’s incredibly still then swipes with a sword incredibly quickly, and is then still again, that’s the winner—the one who has a zen sense of mind. Similarly in The Terminator movies, part of the reason you fear the Terminator is because he’s a robot. He’s unstoppable, he’s implacable. You can’t argue with him. You can’t communicate with him. You can’t make him slow down.

And he has no remorse. He just keeps coming. Or in that old Clint Eastwood movie Unforgiven. The guy who wins the gunfight is the one who doesn’t flinch. He’s just keeping his cool while he’s loading his gun and shooting. He’s not like all over the place running around. So I just think we waste so much energy through anxiety that if you can be calm and still go about your business, it’s a superpower.

And I realized this myself recently, where I was in a conflict situation, business. It was a high conflict situation. It was unfortunate. We, I think we’ve solved it. But as I went through this high conflict situation, I’d been through one like it years before where I was much more anxious. And I remember that time period. And I remember how much I was sweating it and how nervous I was and how I went through bouts of fear and anger and how it kind of worked up I was the entire time, intense and didn’t get much sleep.

But this time I was incredibly calm and I was almost enjoying it because it was like practicing my craft. Now, of course it’s easy to do now because I have more money. But at the same time, it just didn’t bother me. It was just very mechanical. And because of that, I can be very effective about it and it can be effective about it while doing lots and lots of other things. My mind wasn’t constantly spinning in a whirlpool taking on 10 different problems and just fear-based scenario planning all the time.

Most of these things were never going to happen. So I do believe that being calm and still going about your business is the superpower. Now yes, if anxiety is your only motivator, then you have a problem. But I would argue the pure motivations don’t come out of anxiety.

Tim Ferriss: So let’s talk about attribution here. To what would you attribute the, I know this, that it’s difficult to isolate variables, et cetera, but if let’s just say like you have a family, so let’s just say one of your kids comes to you is like, “Dad, I’m suffering from a lot of anxiety. What should I do?”

Or you observe it and you want to help your kid out. What types of recommendations would you make? Or might you make? Another question if you prefer it is what has helped you to go from the whirlpool experience of anxiety in high conflict experience, round one versus calm Naval, and high conflict experience round two?

Naval Ravikant: Yeah. It’s really hard to separate all the pieces out. I mean, it comes from a combination of a philosophy, yoga meditation, and getting older, having kids. Like you, I’ve had some psychedelic experiences, but those are very far back in the past, just a distant memory at this point. But I would say the number one thing that has been very, very important for me is meditation.

And it’s a stupid thing to say, because so trite, everybody just says it now. But when I say meditation, I don’t mean sitting there and watching your breath or chanting a mantra. I mean, self-examination and meditation is a great way to do that self-therapy. It’s sitting there with your thoughts. So anxiety, this pervasive nonspecific anxiety where we’re just constantly on edge about everything, that comes from an unexamined life. I think it was Socrates who said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” I forget who said that quote—

Tim Ferriss: Something like that.

Naval Ravikant: But it’s—

Tim Ferriss: Aristotle, Socrates—

Naval Ravikant: One of those smart philosopher types, but it’s correct. It’s your unexamined life that is causing the problems. And you can examine it in multiple ways. You can examine it through you can have some crazy mushroom trip where it all comes out one night. You could do a lot of meditation sitting there with yourself and letting your mind run crazy.

And then seeing what’s actually in your mind that your mind wants to tell you, and have you listened to, and have you resolved that is unresolved. It could be through therapy. It could be through reading lots of philosophy and reflection and long walks. So there’s many, many ways to tackle it, but it’s that spending the time with yourself to examine why are you having these thoughts?

Think about it this way. We spend so much time in our relationships. Our relationships with our wives, our relationship with our colleagues, our relationships to our business partners, our relationship with our friends, the most important relationship you have is with yourself. It’s with this voice in your head that is constantly rattling every waking hour, it’s this crazy roommate living inside your mind who’s always chattering, always chattering, never shuts up and you can’t control these thoughts.

They just come up out of you don’t even know where, and those quality of your thoughts, those conversations you’re having in your head all the time. That is your world. That is the world you live in. That’s the worldview you have. That’s a lens you see through, and that’s going to determine the quality of your life more than anything else.

And if you want to see what the quality of your life actually is, put down the drink, put down the computer, put down the smartphone, put down the book, put down the headphones, just sit by yourself, doing nothing. And then you will know what the quality of your life actually is because that’s what you’re always running away from.

That’s why people, when they try to meditate they sit down, “I hate it. I can’t sit still.” Why? Because your mind is eating you alive. Your life is unexamined. Your mind is running in loops over things that it has not resolved. And because they’re not resolved when you run around your normal life. It’s not that those problems have gone away. It’s that they’re just there, they’re there, but they’re provoking anxiety.

And what you think of as the anxiety that’s kind of consuming you and you can’t identify the source. That’s just the tip of an iceberg poking out from underneath the water and underneath this giant pile of garbage of decisions that were made without too much thought of situations that you’re in, that you haven’t resolved, that you need to resolve, of problems that you have, or desires that you have that have gone unmet or unmanifested, or are being, or contradictions that you’re living in a ways that you, which you feel trapped.

So proper meditation, proper examination should ruin the life that you’re currently living. It should cause you to leave relationships. It should cause you to reestablish boundaries with family members and with colleagues. It should cause you to quit your job. It should cause you to change your eating patterns. It should cause you to spend more time with yourself.

It should cause it to change the books you read. It should cause us to change what your friends are. If it doesn’t do that, it’s not real examination. If it doesn’t come attached with destruction of your current life, then you can’t create the new life in which you will not have the anxiety.

Tim Ferriss: Or at least parts of it. Not necessarily whole cloth. So let’s dive into meditation because as you mentioned, it’s a term that is used a lot. And in the minds of most, it is represented by things that you just said, you do not do like the mantra-based meditation or following the breath. And you and I have meditated before.

I don’t know if your approach is still similar, but it is quite a—I’d hate to talk about trite paradigm shift in a sense, at least in the way that I experienced it alongside you, at one point, which was literally doing nothing for extended periods of time. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but could you describe the practice a bit because it was such a burden lifted in a sense when the pass-fail is removed.

And the experience that I had after say a week of doing this twice a day, which is not necessarily what people would do in normal life, but was pretty profound. So could you describe the current practice, which may be different from what I experienced.

Naval Ravikant: Yeah. I actually have two different things that I do, and I almost hate calling it meditation because everyone has in their mind, a preconceived notion of what meditation is. Let’s not even call it that. I would say that there are two self-examination practices that I do, and I don’t even call them practices anymore because sometimes I do them because I feel like them and I enjoy them, or because it feels right.

And sometimes I don’t because anything done routinely sort of becomes its own trap and is not going to get you anywhere. It just becomes like another spiritual high and other check box.

Tim Ferriss: Now is it fair though, to say that you’re able to opt-in and out now because you had a certain front-loading period—

Naval Ravikant: Correct.

Tim Ferriss:—of doing it consistently.

Naval Ravikant: Actually I’ll say the three different things that I do and I’ll go through them. The first, I just read a lot of philosophy, especially at night time before I go to bed.

Tim Ferriss: Which ones? Schopenhauer, Maxims? Who are we talking about?

Naval Ravikant: Yes, Schopenhauer, Western philosophy is my current favourite, although I’ve definitely moved around in that one. Eastern philosophy, I’ll read everything from Osho. I know he’s discredited and been cancelled, but fantastic—that makes me like him even more. Krishnamurti, I don’t know, Kapil Gupta, Rupert Spira. I mean, it’s all over the place. Anthony de Mello, he’s fantastic actually.

If going to start with one book. Start with Anthony de Mello’s A Way to Love or his book Awareness. They’re both really good, but there’s a ton of them. I basically read a lot of philosophers. Siddhartha, Vasistha’s Yoga, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching. I’m always going through one of these books at any given time and usually rereading for inspiration.

And I’ll read these at night. Usually, there’ll be one or two things I’ll catch on to, I’ll reflect on it before I go to sleep. So that is a form of self-examination and it’s not done because it’s a formula it’s done because I’m genuinely interested in these things. So it’s not work to me, it’s fun. The second thing that I do is which I’ve been doing for a long time now is just trying to be aware of my thoughts and not in a sit there and be like, “Oh, I’m going to be aware of my thoughts kind of way.”

But just realizing that a lot of these thoughts that come up are unbidden I don’t control them. It’s not like I decided to have this thought. I don’t even know what I’m saying to you right now. It’s coming out of my mouth at the same time as I’m thinking it. So where is this coming from? Who is this person? What is this person saying? Is this true? Is it correct? Has it been correct in the past? Is he just being paranoid now? Is it being crazy? What are his underlying motivations? 

And I’m not even questioning so much, but more just kind of seeing it. And after a while, when you see it, you start seeing through your own BS, you start seeing how you’re mainly just justifying whatever the heck you want to believe, because it’s good for your survival. It’s good for your replication, or it’s good for your money, or it’s going to get you late or any of these various things.

Tim Ferriss: And when you’re doing that reflection is it sitting at a table, pen and paper? Is it—

Naval Ravikant: No.

Tim Ferriss: Half lotus with your eyes closed? What is—

Naval Ravikant: No, it’s really just walking around. Just walking around. It’s just life. Just if you say something to me, I’m always going to listen to it with a slightly critical filter, because you’re external to me. Applying that same filter to my own thoughts, it gives me a level of peace and distance from them and the ability to see through my own BS, which I think makes my life better.

So I’ve just found that to be a useful way of life. But there are lots of times where I forget to do it. I get caught up in some emotion, some runaway train of thought, but usually these days I can catch myself and be like, “Oh, okay, I’m in that mindset again. And having that mode of reactions again,” and when the mind sort of sees me chattering it quiets down a bit.

Naval Ravikant: Oh, before we finish that topic, very important people find the people that it doesn’t take work to be around. The best relationships don’t feel like work. You make the other person happy being yourself. They make you happy by being themselves, everyone’s honest, no one’s putting on an act that they can’t carry on for the next decade. Same thing with friendships, the best friendships are friendships that were formed over nothing. It’s not because you went to school. It’s not because you studied on the same things. It’s not because you’re working together. It’s not because you enjoy rugby or whatever. It’s because your chemistry matches, your temperament is similar. You can be friends with this person for 30 years, 50 years. The compound interest in relationships part ironically means that the best relationships, whether they’re friendships or family or love, are the ones that you don’t have to work too hard at them so you don’t have to sustain that workload for the rest of your life and you can do it effortlessly.

Tim Ferriss: Yeah, totally. Well, one of your quotes that I think of often, and I might be paraphrasing this is: if you want to avoid conflict, rule number one is: avoid people who are constantly involved with conflict, right? I mean something along those lines.

Naval Ravikant: I mean, well, for example, when you’re in a relationship, just watch how the other person treats their worst enemy, because eventually they’ll just redefine you as enemy and you’ll get to feel that behaviour. I think the number one criteria I look for in a relationship is that person has to be kind. They just have to be a nice person. Because, eventually they’ll, in a certain context, you can always be reclassified from friend to enemy. You just want to see the boundaries of someone’s ethics. If you see someone being bad to a server or someone engaging in unethical behaviour or suing other people or fighting other people all the time, it’s only a matter of time before they fight you. Just stay away from these high conflict people. Everyone has conflict, no one is clean, but that said, there are definitely people who engage in conflict and do it regularly and then make it a part of their lifestyle. Just walk away. It’s not worth it. You’ve met people who are low conflict and easy to get along with.

Tim Ferriss: Yeah. Low conflict, low maintenance, who can also be brutally candid when necessary. Right? Which doesn’t equal conflict.

Naval Ravikant: Well, the one thing I’ve noticed, and I haven’t written the tweet on this because I’ve had a hard time figuring out how to say it, but the people that I want to spend time around these days, when I look at what the common characteristic is, they’re highly self-aware. They’re very, very aware of themselves. They’re not running on autopilot. They don’t get angry easily. They don’t get unhappy easily. They don’t take themselves too seriously. They have a certain separation from their own thoughts and personality that prevents circumstances and their personality from overwhelming them. They don’t have a victim mentality. They’re not caught up in some story of what happened to them when they were younger. They’ve had those issues for sure, but they’ve just gotten past them and been like, “I don’t want to be that person. I don’t want to be trapped in that mindset.”

They’re not trying to signal all the time how important they are, or who they know, what they’ve done.

Tim Ferriss: How virtuous they are.

Naval Ravikant: How virtuous they are. They’re not virtue signalling or bigoteering. They have low egos. Generally, I can literally plot on a line the more self-aware somebody is, I guarantee you the more attractive they are to a large number of people. To the degree that I’ve achieved any modicum of fame and fame is a trap, and I’m going to pay for this. I know I will pay for this, but any modicum of fame that I have achieved, I think is because I am one of the few people who has been successful in business that thinks out loud in public. Because I’m willing to think out loud in public, that’s a risk that I take on, it improves my thinking, but other people say, “Oh, yeah, he’s somewhat self-aware, he’s thinking about himself.” I think that helps inspire other people to also say, “Okay, it’s okay for me to think about myself.” I just find hanging around self-aware people is a lot easier than people who are running on autopilot, almost like NPCs.
