Making friends with yourselves

The relationship you have with yourself is fundamentally important, but the common notion of the “self” fails to recognise that we are more than one entity. To live a satisfying life, one must maintain healthy and accepting relationships among the many personalities we call the individual. The past, the future, and the present you are all fundamentally different people who share a common thread, and have different needs and desires.

The various tenses of our soul haunt or terrify us, or we block out their true nature by denial or wishful thinking. Being objective about the self is incredibly difficult, but we need to reconcile our true natures to set our various identities on the same course. In doing, so we build a powerful protagonist who weaves a fulfilling narrative in our lives.
