Reflecting back to when I created this, I was suffering silently with some dysmorphic behaviours and often felt a heavy sense of disconnection from people I encountered on a daily basis. My mental energy was exhausted in the depth of my own self critical obsessions, and I would observe the confidence of others around me in admiration. I started noticing that people’s confidence often came from a certain intelligence or skillset that gave them a strong sense of purpose and substance. If I found the intellectual mind so attractive in other people, then why was I prioritising vanity over my own intelligence? The depth of the mind was the most attractive thing to me, and this realisation pushed me out of dysmorphia and into healthy habits of educating myself rather than hating myself.
