I prefer to think
No one holds me
Close in their heart,
Cause I don’t.

I’m an identity to shed,
A person to destroy,
A vile defiled temple
Trying to disappear.

And,
I will make you hate me,
Cause it makes more sense
In my worldview.

    1. Strong minds are required when it comes to the “negative visualization” method for Stoics. It sounds negative or even harmful to the majority, but some of us turn it into a tool for survival. It can actually be a net positive. It’s healthy to picture the worst-case scenarios early, as long as it doesn’t become obsessive. Results are usually somewhere in the middle. It gets easier with time, from my personal experience. I still overthink…but I’m hyper-aware of the overthinking now. It can get away from ya. No day passes where I don’t think about situations where I could have made better choices. Negative visualization is the practice of lessening the severity of future wounds.
