the personal is the political
Yes, but yes. I feel like when I was angstier or more unanchored I identified more primarily with my politcs but as I've clarified what I want to concretely do with my life and taken steps toward that, the specifics of how it manifests itself in the "discrete" aspects of identity are more of what I think about.. but ig on a zoomed out level I feel my politics should (?) be a main takeaway
I think i'm just at a point in my life where I'm wrapping flesh around the political skeleton to make my identity stronger and be able to manifest the political in the ways that I can
Sorry for the odd metaphor lol
Also thinking about how this applies to the average comfy global northerner (maybe need a better term) is depressing af but a good summary of treat culture
