We’ve been taught to learn wrong

Generally, we are taught from the direction out to in:

We take in information from our mentors, our environment, our books and notes and teachings, and that’s what learning was for much of our life. It’s the easy way to learn – but the knowledge we learn that way usually ends up only good for the short-term; The next semester, the next year, the moment we are told to learn something else – we perceive that new material as something new. Completely new.

And that isn’t true.

There are still times when I don’t know what to write. 

Like – right now.

In fact, I had this problem a lot in the beginning when I first started writing in a journal: When I first started writing things “my own way”. Probably because I always had a sort of vision of how I wanted my writing to feel, but when it comes to putting those feelings into words, there’s a disjunction between the two, and brain can’t come up with the right words.

It’s something I learned was deeply important as I became an adult. As a child though, I had no clue.

It was so hard to love myself as I was. I struggled with my own self-hate for the longest time, and I hadn’t the slightest idea how to overcome this part of myself.
