People get these ideas in their heads.
People meaning me, meaning us, meaning everyone, ever.
We get these ideas in our head that we need or should or could or will.
Good ideas, bad ideas, neutral ideas, beneficial ideas, detrimental ideas.
We know we can be our own worst enemy. Yet it’s solemnly publicly acknowledged outside of college philosophy, psychology, sociology, and anthropology classes.
Self sabotage. I don’t have to explain what that is. We all know it through repeated experience. Both in important and irrelevant things that we’ve done to ourselves over the course of our lives regardless of age.
I could ask an 18 year old and an 80 year old to tell me a about a time they self sabotaged something that could have been a really good thing in their life, and they’re likely to reply; “you just want one example?”

Out of nowhere. Like a meteor. It strikes and buries itself in the land.
Accepted as fact that it’s always been there.
That’s just the way it is, they’ll say. They being the voice in our head.
Has it always been this way? Have I always lived this way? Is this helping or hurting me? Well it’s how I’m living. It’s how I’m thinking. It’s how I’m perceiving. It’s how I’m feeling. It’s how I’m acting.
I wouldn’t think, perceive, feel, and act in ways detrimental to my own existence, surviving, or thriving would I?
