RE: Do You Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses? Part 2!

Thanks for sharing an important fact of life.
It's good to see your picture and it's good for you to be with your son now (Kind of heart moving).

I agree with your content of self-acceptance, but actually there is a step before self-acceptance. That step is self actualization. We cannot accept ourselves if we don't even know who we are. A lot of the stuff we think we are is just a mix of our own reactions to the way others respond to us. When people are not self-actualized they struggle with self-acceptance.

If you actually knew who you were then it wouldn't matter if you had a twisted nose or messed up parents or a dog ugly girlfriend because you was being you. I struggled a lot with self-actualization as a teenager. I tried to be somebody I was not because I really didn't know who I was.

In hive it is so hard to find a tribe or community to post in, but when we post in a community we find rewards and interactions with our posts. It's all about identity. Some communities have rules about what kinds of posts they want to see. It's their community so they can do that. If you don't fit there you can find someplace else.

When we were kids there were only jocks, preps and burnouts. Geeks and nerds were bad words and hipsters had no idea they were hipsters. They were just doing their own thing and nobody cared. A niche was place in a biology book and a profile was something you got when they booked you.

The world is messed up so we have to work all the more to find out who the ____ we are and what the ____ we are doing on this earth before the times up.

Ah S---, now I have to go.
