writing a life

We have the temptation to write our own life, instead of living it.

Not all of our energy should be spent on finding the right name, the right title, or the right accolades.

The dates, the numbers, the names, and the accolades - all of them exist mostly to reinforce hierarchy.

Trying to work around that trap might require us to be inventive with our words, but most of the time it requires us to be intimate with our bodily sensations and our feelings.

One possible method to do that is non-violent communication.
