"The apparent constancy of the physical body explains why I and others cling to it as central to our identities, especially given the capricious nature of consciousness. And yet, I keep changing that body, undermining the idea of physicality as a constant. But maybe, I suggest to myself, this doesn’t make my claim to my body more tenuous, but actually strengthens it. Maybe my body becomes more me the more that I actively shape it. These changes reflect the choices I’ve made, the agency of the consciousness within. They make my body less real but more true, perhaps; or vice versa."

“I don’t think people love me. They love the versions of me I have spun for them.”
The drink was making him maudlin, though it was the first evening in a long time where they were actually friendly company. The hybrid sat back in his high backed reading chair, studying Hayley for a few long moments, considering her words.
"Is that really not the same thing? I have walked this dreadful plain for a millennia. I have been a different version of myself with each turning century, decade, day even." A shrug as he set the whiskey glass down with a light clink. "You are not the same person moment to moment, but your essence remains the same. That's what attracts or repels the people around you. Those intrinsic pieces that make up you throughout every part you choose to present."
"For example, I can craft a charming and personable date, I can woo a gal until she swoons right into my bed - and yet she will remain wary, for good reason, until my true colors are revealed." A little quirk of his eyebrow as he looked over at Hayley, clearly unbothered by the way people found him unsettling. "So craft yourself any way that pleases you, knowing that underneath there are pieces that will never change."

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.
if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.
but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?
what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.
and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.
you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.
so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.
it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.
sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.
oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.
