a thing that i sometimes do that actually sometimes works if i seem to be confused, overwhelmed and generally in a mess i half-jokingly pretend "this Visa unit is defective. please replace", and then I visualize being a new Visa sent from the Visa Replacement Division
meaning like, i'm an actual clone of myself, sent to replace me, and pick up where the old me fucked up & spontaneously combusted. then i'm like, "oh boy, look at this mess. damn that old visa really must've gotten his wires crossed huh. well then. let's make sense of this..."
yes. I am 31 year old man who occasionally pretends to be a clone of himself. I find this preferable to agonizing over sunk costs. Look, the previous unit was defective, what can ya do? Happens sometimes. Not the new-and-improved shiny chrome visabot with the fresh OS install. mm
I suppose to use this metaphor in line with a compassion frame (i've never thought about putting together like a whole coherent narrative for this), once the new visabot fixes the situation, he can do a reading of the old visabot's state and log and understand what happened

@visakanv Omg I’ve been increasingly using this theme of a “new” me, as if I were a clone of myself, but another version upgraded(ing?). Julia Clone, re-booted. Also: found this post bc of Twitter algo. and now I know there are more “clones” out there 🤯🧐👏🏽✅
@visakanv reminds me a bit of dating myself if im feeling dour or done fucked up, just whipping out my best gf simulation and asking “okay, what do we need to do? well, take care of you feeling better by doing this. responding to this, this now. it’s hard, but it’ll be worth it!”
@visakanv where does fresh energy and clarity of perspective come from? don’t know!! vibe station of pre-existing knowledge of How to Be the Best Bf place https://t.co/OvkrXMY1if
@visakanv bit different from yours. my best bf/gf often takes some time to take care of me. very efficient too. “shut up, we’re buying you strawberry mochi, ok? hehe giggling now ok? now did you text that friend about . . .” dispatch that shit
