dear self:
stop feeling sorry for yourself.
if you let them get to you, if you let lies become truth, if you let the past overcome the present you will never be happy again.
i repeat: you will never be happy again.
look in the mirror. smile. take picture. don't make regrets. make goals. accomplish them.
be confident. sit up straight. laugh. have fun. kiss. hug.
and when the time comes, have a huge smile on your face.
live, and then die.
dear self:
you can do this.
The self, or ego, is an illusion. We may opt to adopt any of the countless streams of consciousness that are naturally available to us as we develop through higher psychological stages. The ideal self, is that which expresses the full potential or capabilities of the being in question. In essence, this means it is ideal to adapt your self, adopting whichever stream of consciousness flows most melodiously with the symphony of life in any particular situation. In other words, the self is analagous to a musical note, where a different note, and thus a different self, are appropriate at different times in order to maximize the inherent Fibonacci flow, if you will, of the piece, in this case, life.
