Just a regular dude who is pissed off with the state of society.
Wanted to inspire social change but realised I'm not sure on how to actually inspire anything.
Fuck.

Charlie Kirk gets murdered for building a following through expressing his views (to which I disagreed with the majority) and I see video after video of people celebrating his death. Doesn't seem very accepting and understanding of difference.
The political horse shoe is real. Disturbing.

“I think it only makes sense to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom” Noam Chomsky

"When I look at the world, I'm pessimistic, but when I look at people, I am optimistic." - Carl Rogers
When looking at the state of the world it's difficult to hold onto hope.
But there's a lot of good people trying to do good work.
And that's worth a little hope I think.

Getting tired of people reducing individuals to their group identities and complaining about the state of society as if the two weren't connected anyway.
Those who stand on righteous ground fuel a fire they claim to fight.
We need to approach these topics with more nuance imo.

Today I deleted all of my work on Social Geometrics. 10 years and countless hours of hard work simply gone in 5 minutes.
Feeling both sad and relieved about this decision.
I will never be able to explain the weight of the burden I've been carrying this past decade.

Before I started training as a therapist I had hoped to one day become a mind magician so I could help people overcome their problems.
After years of training and practice, I'm sad to report that I'm no mind magician.
There's no silver bullet, just ongoing deep relational work.

Today is a significant day for me because it marks the day I decided to let something of value go.
I feel both sad and liberated by this decision.
Now I have a lot more time and space to consider the direction I want to take my life, rather than being beckoned towards a perceived responsibility.

I've been having conversations with a therapist from a different background to me and I never thought about how my working class background, and the way I present myself as a result, could have such an effect on how people may perceive me in this profession.
Interesting conversations.
