The Limitless Self

The self can be a lonely person to face. There is a fear that when we’re alone there is nothing but solitude. What we hoped would be oceans of ideas and thoughts are just puddles. There’s an anxiety that we’ve gathered objects and people around us, and have have fooled ourselves into thinking that we are far more interesting than we really are.

What makes a person interesting? It isn’t the amalgamation of objects that feign being an introspective and curious minded person. If my house of stuff burned up overnight, how could I signal to all those around me that I am interesting? That is a shortcut, social signaling and it doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

We aren’t handed a certificate that ensures an interesting life, or a license of fulfillment. The responsibility of this life and how much we can develop from it, is on us. The world will exist as we all pass in and out of it, it will not give you this, you simply have to create it.
