RT @KiriCallaghan@twitter.com: You’re not the person you were a few years ago. You’re not even the person you were a few weeks ago. Or even quite the person you were yesterday.

That’s okay.

And if you’re not sure you like that person, don’t fret. You won’t be the same tomorrow.

Yes, this is something I've been coming to terms with in my self-healing. I need to be okay with who I am now, I am not the same person I used to be. And if there's something that I don't like I have the power to change it to become the person I want to become.

@idleDreams I went long enough without access to mental health care that a lot of my care practices came through #Buddhism, albeit a stripped down and secular version. But the concept of #anatta was really helpful for me in not feeling trapped with or as any particular thing my mind might be doing. Stuff my mind does are experiences I'm having, not always necessarily things I inherently am.

Thank you, I'm in the same boat with the lack of resources to mental health. I'll have to look into anatta. The Japanese Kintsugi has helped me a lot. Not the same as anatta, but really helpful in coming to terms with flaws.

@idleDreams Kintsugi is wicked cool and Important, yes!

The bare bones (I think) is that there may be a Self or may not be, but none of the things we can point to or name or define as one are truly separate or unchanging or eternal. Everything we can even think about is either a temporary collected pausepoint of loosely-associated matter or a thoughtform that changes moment to moment & why decide this one has a name & significance but not that one?
