“The only person you need to satisfy is yourself.” What do I mean by this?

I mean that all of the world is in our minds. The part that I call me versus you is just an arbitrary felt distinction. So whether I conceptualize what I'm doing as satisfying the ego or bit of me located in my body, or as satisfying the things of people around me . . .

. . . they're both sort of the same thing: my mind pleasing itself within its own mind.

There are just a lot of benefits to having that felt center of energy, or attention, or “the rightness to be attended to” shift from externally around me, to feeling it physically shift within/into me. Oof—I feel my body light up.

I feel the rightness of attention, the rightness of my judgment, the incisive shape of my will. What I stand for, the things I want to do, the values I hold. Form, as a human being. https://t.co/6gSknAL9QS

I may not like whatever it is I see. There are some things that are reliably sexy. Having passion. Sincere, earnest interest. Competence. Working with hands. Talking shit about physics. Telling me how beautiful that painting is.

I feel like a human being. A real one you can interact with. 𝘚𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 from you. Not lacking in self-definition. https://t.co/sD9Cu6GpoD

[putting my hot girl hat on] When he tries to change himself for me . . . I feel disappointed. I’m engaging with a lifeless limp now. I wanted something real. Something fun. Something challenging.

I feel like a small person, pitted against a big world, but also existing comfortably within it. Perceived as such by the humans around me. Versus something that lacks self definitional together.
