notes on being in constructive dialogue with reality, instead of staying mired in delusional rigidity
everything is a conversation
Typically, the best conversations are ones that possess some degree of spontaneity. And you can encourage spontaneity. If something floats across your mind that’s unexpected, like a conversational tangent jogs a memory or idea you didn’t foresee appearing, make it part of the conversation. “For some reason, this makes me think of [x]” is fine.

Great conversations give us this gift: we receive more than we sought.
We find ourselves saying things we didn't know we knew, wanting things we didn’t know we wanted, becoming someone we didn’t yet know we could be. The path matters because the path changes us, and in changing us, it changes where we can go next.
