Identity revised

The people, the things, the places we know are often reminders of complex emotions, carrying a history of mistakes we’ve come to recognise as our own. An outside force - a global integration into these intimate relationships - is perhaps, more often than not, an awe presented integration. Wondering, whether it’s a means to rehabilitate a behavioural crises or completely restart it.

Everything we do, think, enjoy, and show others, is commonly seen by thinkers as a projected illusion of identity - a perception that often feels strong, and creates a cloud of primitive emotions - inflated when constantly engaged with familiarity. Is it worth questioning how those feelings are formed? Where they lead?

The things we do and think, can also feel to be an answer, a conversation, or perhaps a bandage to an intangible reality we don’t seem to know much about yet. Are human actions and thoughts typically triggered by this intangible nature? Or are they triggered by the self as a fleeting phenomenon, another person, a thing, or a place we see?
