Quit tech job 10/'19, on the road since. A lot of fucking around and finding out
The voice is something like “maybe you can do better”. It’s hard to pin where it comes from. Maybe it’s a hyperoptimizing tendency that leaves me perpetually dissatisfied. Maybe it’s a self love “you don’t have to settle” voice, unclear

And I was ready to do the whole thing with her. So why not now? Like I could pretty likely make it happen, yet I am choosing not to. Part of me is kicking myself for this

Realizing that I actively don’t want to be in the business of trying to change people, becoming more secure in myself and realizing I’m more interested in a partner with mutuality

12. “” to be “better” than others, to be “right” - “look at y’all dummies doing the normal thing I figured out a better way y’all should do it too”, the manifestation of a lack of inner knowing and orientation on external validation instilled throughout my upbringing (school, Chinese culture, etc)

11. “” out of integrity. When graduating high school I came up with an idea called college hopping (spending a semester at different universities) rather than going normally. I didn’t have the cajones to bet on myself then, and I wanted to prove that I could
