        Egocide, killing ego.

        Unfortunately I have depression and was debilitated by it (on and off and on again) for lack of better words about a year, its all quite sad if you let it be. BUT, for lack of better words my ego just has to die for me to move on to the next stage in life, and as a process it’s actually going quite well which I am glad about. I’ve been working on this process for a while and I’m proud of myself. I’m trying again and I’ve got a stupid grin on my face doing it. Couple really scary things I have to face soon, so I’ll have to keep braving the storm but until then, its just egocide I have to worry about.

          Alright, but make sure to have a healthy balance between your self and other people. Boundaries are important. I don’t know exactly what you’re going through, but include helping yourself in with helping others.

          Well, maybe your ego has to completely die, but doing things for yourself is not selfish.

              OHHHH

              I see, I see.

              Yeah, I feel that, and sometimes, we have to take a step back from ourselves and let our ego go and think about the whole.

              I getcha now.

          If any of yall are going through it, reach out to me if you want to talk, and on top of that I invite you to see a therapist, honestly it really does help. Be kind to yourself, you’ll stupidly enough survive all of the things you’re scared of (lil projection, but it might help the reader)

          For a person killing their ego you sure used the word “I” a lot. (This is mostly a joke.) Though attempting to limit references to oneself is an interesting exercise in ego death and mindfulness.

              I really couldn’t tell you where I got it. Its been a long time since my explorations in that area.
