Aren't the things that make you special and 'you' all the ways in which you're open, but also all the ways in which you are closed ?
Wouldn't opening your mind to more and more of the world and taking it in 'as is' ammount to losing yourself within it ?

you’re part of the world too!

True !
Just afraid that moving forward might inevitably mean; 'understanding what you despise and to truly understand is to accept, changing you into this grey, symmetrical and balanced thing'

in my experience it's if anything exactly the opposite: the more stuff i accept the more i become myself, if that makes sense
because i'm no longer using up part of my energy rejecting the thing
otoh i think i have also accepted stuff before i was ready to, in the sense that accepting it sort of twisted me around into rejecting other stuff 😅 tricky to accept things in the "appropriate order"

Ah see now that's more like 'change' ! Like rearranging your own shape and perhaps decluttering useless noise and artefacts in your personality painting :)

What makes a painting readable, what makes it 'something' and understandably different from other things is at the core; contrast.
Light spots are openings, shadow is closed space; if it were all light then it would be nothing.
Maybe that's good ? Not wanting to be anything ? twitter.com/temeton_blue/s…
