I Get To Do For A Living

And Partly, The Worst Thing You Could Do In My Family Was Need Something From Someone. So Physical Strength Represented An Avenue Of Self-sufficiency To Me.

It Was A Vicious Cycle, Though. The More Gratification We Found In Our Own Geniuses, The More Isolated We Grew.

But I Read Comic Books. I Read Things Like Richie Rich And Little Lulu.

It Certainly Was An Important Moment For Me, That Realization That I Was Not Going To Get What I Wanted. It Was Very Freeing. I Keep Using That Word "freeing" Or "liberating." I Feel Like Houdini Sometimes, Like I'm Just Getting Out Of One Set Of Shackles After Another, Hanging Upside Down Inside A Burlap Bag With Handcuffs On. Hopefully One Day, I'm Going To Get Out Of This Tank Of Water.

In A Narcissistic Cathexis, You Invest More Energy Into Your Ideas About Another Person Than In The Actual, Objective, External Person. So The Man Who Falls In Love With Beauty Is Quite Different From The Man Who Loves A Girl And Feels She Is Beautiful And Can See What Is Beautiful About Her.
