I've been going through a deconstruction journey as well which has been akin to an existential crisis at times. Though I keep having revelations in one state of mind that I lose access to when I'm in another, so that's something to navigate.
Anyhow, good luck in meeting the true haui, I'm sure they're a wonderful person in there.
Thank you so much. I didn’t expect surprise kindness there! :) that put a large smile on my face.
The losing access thing has been bad for me in the past. I‘m somewhat convinced it was trauma related for me. I often switch mental states when triggered and one version cant access memories of the other. Sounds really scary if I put it like this.
Feel free to dm me if you want to talk about it.
