More nerves

Nah, it can't be about me.
However well-meaning my good friend David's comments are, he isn't coming from my head. Yes, it's good to be selfish sometimes, but not when your regular outlook is selfish. I don't wake up thinking what I can do for other people. I wake up thinking what I can do for myself. It's my struggle against this notion that makes me capable of doing good things.
I take care of myself. But I also tend to think that I need to take care of myself because no one else will. That isn't accurate. It takes events like this one to wake me up to the reality that not everything I do needs to be about me, and that not everything other people do that conflict with my ideas are attacks.
I have some major trances going on, and I want to use this event to snap out of it.
Oh...look...I'm using the event to take care of myself! It is about me!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Well, maybe that's the first trance to go.
