Having a self is not what people think it is— It is not "living from your emotions" or anything confessional or "New Age" — It's more akin to the way you would perceive the world upon surviving a ship wreck. It's something you cling to. Finding your self requires hard work and attention, in the same way a master guitarist practices day after day, finds glimpses of their own talent, then perceives simple sensations — amidst beauty — in what happens every day. People try to steal this from you. First they steal your attention. Second they steal your ability to remember your self. Third, they steal your whole life. You have to get back to your self, even amidst gangs of mean girls, pseudo-authorities, and clueless parents. "Female meanness has always been based on spite, gossip, rumor-spreading, ostracizing, getting groups to target one girl in particular, making fun and a host of other actions that can still make grown women feel a chill or worse at memories of this behavior." (-Joan McClusky, "Mean Girls Aren't a Myth. They're All Too Real," The New York Times, April 7, 2010) You have to cling to your self like a person thrown into violent seas from the warmth, safety and foreboding nature of The Titanic. Then you have to swim away as fast as you can! It's everything about living! (–Source: taxi1010.com stargate81)
