I loved this essay so much. I completely agree with this way of shaping the narrative according to the stories we tell ourselves. For me, this was the way with writing which I tried to do regularly last year. I got a lot of "Oh, you also write?" because the photographer narrative was so deeply attached to me by others.

Absolutely. But this is honestly the best way to do it: the opposite of quitting cold turkey, whatever it is. Less questions asked, less assumptions doubled down on, more space and energy to re-arrange stories without anyone else's resistance.

Yes... we are creators as well. There are also ingrained patterns and old emotional stuff.... Great read!
