RE: What Have You Become?

When was the last time you took time to reflect on yourself?

Daily.

Do you ever think that the current you are something you're proud of?

I think of it in temporal relations, my past would probably praise me while my future would scold me. These are constant things happening at once. There's just no chill here but that's ok.

What are you, now? and "what have you become?"

I figured out what I am and just trying to fight the boredom of living by being Albert Camus' Absurd Hero.

Thanks for sharing, @adamada.

trying to fight the boredom of living

I know what I am now and will have to accept that haha pero fighting the boredom of living is something I haven't thought about kasi gave up before even trying ehe. HAHAHAHHA

I think I've gone through some similar process except the way I handled these kinds of things is more on a methodical approach to overcoming the shadow. It's not enough that you give yourself a pep talk but more along the lines of bearing the accountability of self sabotage and recognizing the downward spiral. I don't have a good support system to bring myself out of the unproductive rut. So what I did was doing an inventory of my own resources and worked on the idea that no one else can save me but myself. There are some parts of the text that I don't empathize with here but it's not my experience so I'll just leave it at that.

do you agree with existentialist views? particularly of camus?

I think of it as what the working hypothesis I have for now rather than commit to the idea as absolute. If presented with a better idea, I'll change how I see things. Camus' way is one of the many ways to approach the subject and being rigid on an idea is something I don't want to practice.

well, as a spiritual person it contradicts to my views, so was just wondering about other peoples. But overall I like Camus as an author.
