Another one from that 5-day period I was dark. This reminds me of one of or maybe even the first of yours I ever read with the theme of deconstruction and reconstruction, https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/undo-yourself-ae23ef17e873 , that contained:

"There’s not a gap, but until you “see” that,

observe the illusion of your act.

The painful uncovering of the truth is

the first step for freedom. Then, choose.

Choose to demolish the persona you built,

to walk on the ruins, to mourn, and proceed.

Keep just the healthy parts you’ll find.

Throw all the garbage and the lies.

Undo yourself and watch what’s happening.

Your liberation waits beyond self-labeling.

Build again on a healthy foundation.

Your temple will be your Self, after re-creation,

or — better say — after returning to where “you” came from."

How did I make that connection just now you are asking yourself? Because I remember well quoting you in my 23-minute essay in December 2020. You clapped and your highlights show you got through at least most of it. :-)
