Replying to Just Be Yourself?
Preface: I smoked everyday for eight years from freshman year of HS to senior year of college, and had to quit because career aspirations, and responsibilities necessitated it. Now i smoke once in a blue moon, mainly when i am having a personal problem and need to meditate on it. Being high allows me to look at the situation from a different perspective, and normally really helps me work out my issues.
Recently, i have been having some beezey issues and finally came to the realization that its not worth it in the long run if you cant be yourself. so i smoked, and came up with the question:
What does be yourself mean? Does it mean be the person you wish to be? does it mean that you should do what ever you want when ever you want? I mean you cant be nihilistic, and you dont want to constantly try to be the image of "your perfect self".
I meditated on it and came up with this:
Being yourself means that you do what makes you feel good about yourself at the end of the day.
SO NS, what do you think Being yourself means?
