how long do i have to think a thought in order for it to become mine? i love picking apart my own character to answer questions from other people- it’s astonishing how many paragraphs a well-placed “huh???” or “wait really?” can inspire. and of course, in that moment i conceive it, it’s my thought. i am thinking about me, and it’s bound to be accurate at some level. but once i speak it out loud, does it really describe me anymore? or would it become a self-fulfilling prophecy that i live out, having boxed myself in with these words?
