i actually resonate with something like this.
@Aella_Girl
has said several times that self-love doesn’t make any sense to her and it’s always tickled me in a way i was never able to articulate. but if i had to try...

ok first pass at articulation: in some ways the idea of "self love" feels absurd to me bc some major part of me believes that love is a description of something that exists between me and someone/something that is not-me

self-love is a misnomer there *is* something else that could be meaningfully called self-love/self-respect, but the thing that ppl *usually* mean when talking about self-love, that you're describing here, is love of existence nothing to do with the self peacefulness-with-Being twitter.com/selentelechia/…

My take is that big part of what
@nickcammarata
is talking about can be better described as 'life-as-a-game' feeling

Yeah, I agree about the frame part, but I was thinking about other ways to describe the feeling. Life-as-a-game has a characteristic feeling that's shared with the kind of self-love you are talking about: "failure is acceptable" or "failure is fun".
