It’s often hard to develop an understanding of who you are, and live accordingly. Even if you know who you are and who you aspire to become, the wider conditions around you often aren’t suited to your particular development and positive inclinations. It often seems that your environment is never really tailored for you, it’s never really created or designed with you in mind. Maybe that’s just the way it’s supposed to be, it’s part of the process of growing through adversity. And I’m attracted to the process of finding meaning despite difficult circumstances. I often think places in particular are especially hard to overcome, even more so than people or things. | There are some obsessive thought patterns I should let go of. I should go ahead and do that. This might be a lifelong process, for me. It’s to do with some mistakes I’ve made in the past, and some forms of maltreatment I feel I’ve received from others.
