What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are ra

Summary

This quote highlights the disconnect between our perception of ourselves and who we truly are. It suggests that we tend to hold an idealized version of ourselves, often ignoring or distorting our flaws or shortcomings. In reality, our self-perception is often different from how others perceive us, as we often exaggerate our strengths and downplay our weaknesses. This quote serves as a reminder to embrace self-awareness and strive for a more honest evaluation of ourselves.

I didn't think past the first step of anything, that was the key. I drank a Coke and didn't worry about how to recycle the can or about the acid puddling in my belly, acid so powerful it could strip clean a penny. We went to a dumb movie and I didn't worry about the offensive sexism or the lack of minorities in meaningful roles. I didn't even worry about anything that came next. Nothing had consequence, I was living in the moment, and I could feel myself getting shallower and dumber. But also happy.
