Dear Knowing Oneself,
You say it is important to know oneself. To know who you are so much that you can make decisions and move forward; as if knowing could simply make things less confusing or create clarity for your life.
How does one know oneself?
At what point do you think you actually know who you are?
You are a simple phrase that is not meant to do more harm than good. You mean well and it seems simple to figure out. It seems like a realistic way to perceive your life and understand that life is a process it takes to know who you are.
But what if knowing who you truly are does not change anything? Or what if it changes your whole world? Is knowing oneself indicative of making progress and changes that are meaningful within society? Are you able to move forward and make decisions if you do not know who you are? Is this an essential part of achieving greater things in life?
What do you do when you can’t actually know everything about who you are?
Dear Loving Yourself Radically,
How?
Is this the way to begin knowing myself more?
You are very interesting, the thought of loving yourself no matter what any one else says. Encouraging me to be me and love myself for who I am in spite of everyone else. That reclaiming my own power in finding love for myself does not take away from anyone else. That loving myself can be it’s own form of resistance. By loving myself radically, I can add to the infinite amount of power that exists in our world and believe in who and what I am even if no one else will.
I would love to embody you and figure out what it means to do just that. To love myself radically is to forgive my own faults and things I cannot change in my life. To find acceptance in the life I have been given and to find a way to move past the hate that exists in this country. By loving myself I can begin to understand.
Can loving myself radically also be not knowing who I am?
