Starting this thread to think through what’s coming and how I want to be as a human being through it.

Oh boooy, already not fun. I feel myself deferring all sense of fun till “after.” But that’s not how I want things to be. > How do you want things to be? “I want to feel my fear fully.”

“I want to cry in front of someone about how terrifying this truly is.” “I don’t just want to get through. I want to reckon with what this is.” “This matters to me. It may seem small, but it is big to me. Really really big. I want to own that bigness in front of anyone I meet.”

> What does that look like? “I want to just improve for myself.” “Not try to sell, not try to show, just genuinely want an improvement for my own life, because I want it.”

MAKE YOUR LIFE HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE BECAUSE YOU WANT IT YATHARTH. Literally no one else cares. I don’t care if you stay up late, waste time, whatever. Do whatever it is you want to do.

> So what do? I . . . don’t know. I feel lost again. > Let’s reground on what feels certain. This is about doing what you want, yes? Yes. (!) > When you feel into that sense of what you want, does the doing become easier? Almost simple, really. A lot of it.

The heavy-duty writing is still the hard part. I'm going to get stuck. > Want to co-write it? Yes . . . maybe . . . I think so? No. > No, why? Because so much will involve research, breaks, etc.

> Wanna do it now? Text them with this thread. Ok boss 💪 > No you're literally the boss. Don't invite them if you don't want this. That's ok too. What do you want? I want their help > Ask for it. Sincerely and without expectation. It’ll be a ton of fun for everyone involved!

@AskYatharth same Fully and *directly*. They feel connected. I find I dampen my fear by routing it through symbols and abstractions, it's less intense and also no longer really about what it's about
