“We apply certain kinds of pressure to you, under which you are forced to flee to your highest ground… But hopefully, under that pressure, you leave behind all the false You’s–the imitative You, the too-clever You, the Avoiding You–and settle into that (sometimes, at first, disappointing) beast, Real You…Real You is all you have, and all other paths are false. And in the best case, Real You is so happy to finally be recognized, it rewards you with Originality.”
