I'm not sure where to put this, but, from the poem, "We are programmed to grope and fumble until we get it right."
And I think that is true for our relationships with our selves (body/mind/spirit/heart/soul/head/hands/whatever you want to call bits of what makes us human) as our relationships with other people.
And I should point out that relationships with other people are surely transformative works as well. Or at least...in the way you are someone different with each person you interact with, just by virtue of being who-you-are-with-them and being viewed by another unique human being with a unique perspective. Obviously some of those transformations are more healthy than others. But still.
hi, tonight, can I just not try to pass as neurotypical by editing this comment a bunch of times?
