Forget what you were told and shown as a child on what love is. It is about as truthful as a Grimm's Fairytale. And in reality, your family most likely never looked or acted like the perfect sitcom family. The ideal of the perfect marriage and family is just more of the death oriented propaganda. And the sad reality is, that this is what we are programed to strive for, but in the end it costs you.
It costs you who you are. It costs you who you want to be. You compromise and suppress yourself for that ideal love and family. Everyday losing just another bit of your true self. Getting you to the point where you have hidden or given so much of the real you away, that one day you don't even recognize yourself anymore.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Being physically immortal means you do not have to sacrifice yourself. There is no more suppression of who you are. You are loved and cherished just by being the person that you are. Where fear and societal politeness don't have to stop you from speaking from your gut. Leave the old you behind and start a new. Today is a new day.

ReplyDeleteSee, here is where I get stuck... I am a blank slate right now and dont really know who I am and don't excpect to stay the same long enough to "know" myself.
I do know that the people who see me outside of events say that I don't really differentiate enough between my deathless friends and I give too much to things/ideas that are totally death oriented. Or that I make myself smaller than I really am. I'm not consciously aware of this so it makes it hard for me to say who I "really" am.
For me it feels like it has been a constant shift of all I ever was into a new something that I still don't have a grasp of yet. I don't know.
The idea sounds very positive to be free to be myself. I just don't know what that means yet.
