Have u learned yet how to be ur own best friend?

It's true, but I haven't found it yet. The process first involves "knowing oneself" and then acceptance. Identity. Subscribing to whatever ideas are useful in-the-moment and making compromises to work with the boundaries and responsibilities we are each destined to face. "Knowing oneself" is a near-impossible accomplishment without first giving up addictions and addressing ones personal problems, while having support and self-regulation in doing so. Goal-setting. Direction. Self-preservation. Sacrifice. Risk-taking. Tender balances and constant dancing through hoops and reflecting and making plans and the mundane everyday chores necessary simply to sustain ones well-being. Eh, we all burn out anyway!! And will be forgotten!! So here's to another hit and another blast to oblivion. What a waste of time. There's so much to be done, and here I am, writing. It's okay. Like Borges wrote in "El suicida" (translation): [quote]I bequeath nothingness to no one.[/quote]
