the more functional you are— high-agency, wisdomous, whatever you wanna call that nested nexus of having ability and the meta-ability to manage that ability— the more obvious it becomes that whatever situation you're in is largely what you have enabled and allowed

@visakanv I was just sharing this with my brother about childhood decisions. I think quite a lot of people/humans in general are high agency and, as per your 2nd twt, just don't like the idea their pre-teen selves made hugely consequential choices that's determining the rest of their lives

@visakanv Had kind of an existential crisis like this at 17 realizing that I have to chose my college and major and it will have absurdly consequential yet unpredictable effects on my life Realized I just have to pick something and retrofutureactively make it a good decision

@visakanv a nice thing on the road of high-agency is realizing you can customize everything in your life. nothing has to remain stock. everything can be made to be exactly what you need it to be.

@visakanv A word. Internalizing this is one of the most freeing beliefs.

@visakanv The agency required to control one’s surroundings and the agency required to control oneself is ironically quite different. Learning the latter imho is harder but more valuable. I myself still struggle with it.
