“Writing is my greatest adventure as it takes me deep into the psychology of the self, the dark woods containing entombed skeleton of a former self, and the secrets of a future self. Until I demystify all aspects of being, I will be forevermore chasing an enigmatic persona, and living with an unholy pack of insecurities, self-doubts, and unchecked skepticism and pessimism. Until I discover how to preserve the independence of solitude, I will always doubt myself and live an anxious and worrisome life.” WritingSelfSolitudeAnxietyAnxiousSkepticismWriters QuotesSelf DoubtFuture SelfFormer Self Book:Dead Toad Scrolls Source: Dead Toad Scrolls

Now I had some all too unwelcome corroboration of what I was, or had been.” SelfCharacterIdentityThe PastJulian BarnesThe Sense Of An EndingFormer Self Book:The Sense of an Ending Source: The Sense of an Ending
