What Still Feels Like Me?

Finding the conditions under which you still feel like you — because they can be repeated on purpose.

A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.

A gentle inventory: the recent moments, however small, when you recognised yourself. Not a search for the old self — a look at where self-recognition is still happening now.

Recent moments of recognition

However small. The ridiculous ones often count double.

  • Laughing properly at something
  • Losing track of time in something I love
  • A conversation where I felt like myself
  • Making something — anything
  • A moment of noticing beauty, quietly
  • Standing up for something I believe

The one that stands out

And what was happening

e.g. Arguing about a film with my sister — perfectly, uselessly absorbed

What they had in common

A pattern, if there is one. One honest thread is the whole finding.

The common thing

e.g. All of them happened unhurried, with someone I don't perform for

The goal isn't recreating the old self. It's noticing that you are still in there — and that some days, you still meet yourself.
