Most people speak of rebirth periods. We are continuously rebirthing. We can call it growing. I am not the person I was yesterday or who I will be tomorrow. It may be less than 1% of a difference. The tastebuds on my tongue are totally replaced every 2 weeks but each time there are fewer of them than before. Children have a much more intense taste sensation than someone in their 30s or 40s. Individual red blood cells are replaced every four months but every day some die and are replaced. Same goes for every cell and organ in your body.
Living is change. Psychologically, emotionally we are a process in change, hour by hour, day by day. Each of our memories are distorted and incompletely recorded, moment by moment. Even our remembering alters and deteriorates the memory.
None of us are the person we were yesterday, or even an hour ago. We are reborn, moment to moment. We are largely totally unaware because we value the idea of unchanging constancy, of knowing who and what we are. It is illusion.
You are growing, developing, Clint, - as we all are, if we only recognised it. Embrace it, dear.
I love your musings, Uncle Ray. So much wisdom and heart. I’ve decided to get myself back into therapy when I’m back home, so have started a list of possible therapists. Going through all the profiles is a bit like going on a dating app, but definitely is helping clarify WHY? I wanna explore therapy again. Good stuff. Cheers!
Clint, Looking foreward to the changes that await you! You CAN be who you want to be, when you want to be, where you want to be, why you want to be. The trick is figuring out TO BE! You are on the right track. Fondly, Michael

I'm biased 'cos I am a therapist. Choose a therapist with whom you can be sufficiently comfortable but still holds out a challenge.
I’m definitely on the search and have a handful of contenders. Fingers crossed!
How can the pun be unintentional? But it is so good to hear that you are safe and puget sound. Committing to change makes change happen.
PUGET!!! Pun on, Victor. I love it. Love and light to you, boo!
