jadegirlSometimes the idea of a thing gets so wrapped up in our perceptions of self that untangling the two can be problematic in the extreme. When the thing the self is wrapped up in is past events, it can make letting go of them difficult. Because the self is so wrapped up in what happened, the events retain a certain level of immediacy, never becoming truly past, no matter how much work is done on it, or how much time passes.
It's ego, I think, coming back to something![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
littleblueworld said long and long ago. The self we show to the world is a delicate construction, and has so much invested in it that injury to it leaves deep wounds, but only because we lose the ability to seperate self from construction.
I get clinical when I'm doing a slow burn.
Realizing self and construction of self are two different things is only half the battle, I think. The rest of it is allowing the world, and people, to not make sense, to be chaotic. The rain falls because it does.
