Hi!

Those feelings are definitely normal, and maybe they’re an important part of becoming who we become. But it’s still good to recognize the problems they cause, or caused.

I’m not sure if “we” is me and you or us and our parents. If it’s me and you, I’m sure I was more self-deceptive for a time. If it’s us and our parents, I think they might be at least as self-deceptive. As the ones taking action, they’re very likely to see, or think they see, the results they’re looking for to feel good about those actions.

We’re going to spend time with both of our parents, and make the visits long enough that we’ll have time to meet up with old friends. It should be fun!

That sounds like a great trip! You’re both skiers, then? And things must be going well with your bf?

Take care!

Caity

Hello!

I was thinking about you and me, when I said that thing about self-deception. I’m not at all sure you were more self-deceptive? I often think that what stopped me from digging a too big hole for myself was mainly my practical side.

But the way you answered opens up some new perspectives! Obviously, when you’re ”in power”, self-deception often takes other forms. You have to take action of some kind, and then you can’t so easily back down. Espescially if the action was drastic, you’ll have to stick to your guns, no? Political solutions for wars are only sought for when the generals say that there’s no military solution.

We are in a good spot! None of us are much experienced in skiing, and neither are the friends we’re going with, but IMO it makes it all the more fun!

All the best!

Leona
