"But what if shame isn’t a problem to be solved? What if shame is simply a misreading of the fundamental story of self? And that salvation comes simply from surrendering to the free-fall, to the “shame,” to the truth of me as I am outside of any quantified self."🔥🔥🔥
Merlin is working its way to be my first app of the day and maybe now (thank you for this) I will go there first to see who woke me up instead of whether the people in the other time zones liked my IG stories last night.
Shame and I are like 2 strands of a thread. It's a constant presence that keeps me striving to improve. Sometimes i soak the thread in chocolate for a treat, or a scented balm for relaxation. Reading distracts the thread as does good music. Crowds, models in fine clothing advertisements and too many french fries cause the thread to carry electric shocks. Poetry or poo?
I fucking love Huberman. Always have. And I lowkey knew he had a philandering fuckboi part even before the news of it went public. When said fuckboi news confirmed my brilliant intuition, that was also hard because then I had to contend with how much more solid my intuition is than all the beautiful metrics I really wanted to mean something. But then a few months back, Hubes did an IFS episode with Dick Schwartz and I knew Dick loves him the way I do (for more than the sum of his parts) and I wasn't ashamed to love him anymore🪞
Wow, this hit hard! We are going to think about this essay the next time we wonder about our subscriber count while we're supposed to be playing with our kids.

nowhere does all of this come into clearer focus for me than with my kids and their annoying lack of obsession with metrics
