Strings of Code
What is this self I think I will lose if I leave what I know.
- Joanne Kyger
There is really nothing you must be,
And there is nothing you must do.
There is really nothing you must have,
And there is nothing you must know.
There is nothing you must become.
However,
It helps to understand that fire burns,
And when it rains the earth gets wet.
- Author Unknown
I've had these quotes on my wall at my old apartment years ago, and I've had them on my LJ/DW profile for a couple years now. They are amazingly fitting right now.
The WHY? that I came to previously was a surface conclusion. Many of the examples that I've given of specific bad defensive responses were just that - examples. No matter how many examples I throw out there, they are most all context specific. I CAN write out cheat sheets for myself, but those will only help in specific instances. I foresee that most situations will probably not fall into a category of example that I've already "trained" on, or they will involve some form of monkey wrench that still throws me right back into defensive reactionary mode.
Going over things in my head, I keep coming back to one common base. I touched upon it previously, but I'm finding that not only is it something I need to work on, but it seems to be the capstone theme for everything else.
I'm not happy withmyself the person I have become.
There's going to be more to come on this, but I have a busy day planned ahead and have to scoot.
