State
Hello, N again. I have an announcement to make regarding E.
R is no longer part of the team. But it's okay, because they made enough art for me and Z to finish on our own. Simply put, they're no longer needed.
On a separate note, I'm going to ramble now.
I think it's fair to say that we all have a natural state. If we go to bed and wake up in the morning, how do we feel? If you're miserable, then that's your natural state. If you're happy, then that's your natural state. For many people, they can merely reset by going to bed and waking up. After the grogginess of sleep wears off, they can think more clearly and take on the day with a certain freshness. Other people aren't so lucky. I believe it's possible to change your natural state, but this post isn't about that.
Rather; in your natural state, without the judgement or support of others, what would you like to do? What hobbies do you enjoy? What do you seek out for pleasure?
I'm concerned about people who attempt to modify their interests to please others. You get with someone, you try to make them happy; but things will wear off over time and you'll return to your natural state (unless you found something intrinsically enjoyable about this thing to the point of liking it even if that person weren't around). Can we fulfill each other's needs even in our natural state? If not, will it last? Or, even if it lasts, will it end up being painful for someone?
If we're enjoying eachother's company in the moment, that doesn't really matter (especially because it may uncover genuine interests). But, if we're thinking to the far future--one day it will.
