Ever since I read Maslow after several peak experiences I've had as a teen, my underlying motivation has been self-actualization for first myself and my friends & family.

My strategies for achieving that have met with varying degrees of success.

I often invoke the metaphor of dueling as a desirable mode of interaction.. not because I crave violence or victory, but because the duel forces us into a mode where we must draw upon our most powerful reserves and become the best version of ourselves.

I've always wanted a nemesis, not so I can flail around in negative emotions, but because it excites me to rise to a challenge, to unlock a puzzle, to have someone who is your equal or your superior force you to discover reserves you weren't even aware you possessed.

I want to step up my game and forge a fellowship that only becomes stronger under the hottest fires.

If you're with me let's stand together, let's tell each other the challenges we each have, and how to overcome them.

One step at a time.
