My very good friend Edmund journey through a (thoroughly well) made up story about war, finding community, and how other people see the choices you've made through the lens of their suffering...and how they're valid for it. This is after having a conversation on confidence, being a big brother, and how one sees themselves through the eyes of others.
We talk video games, storytelling, fear of confidence and believing in yourself, fear of success, and identity.
Nuance, choices, social psychology, groups, financial disparity, wealth gap, perspective, origin story, personal realities, things are never what they seem
