多くの人が経験しているように僕も人生で何度かキャリアの踊り場、ないし進むべき方向性に悩んで抜け出せなかった時期がある。ふと最近そこであるパターンに気づいたので表現するのが難しいがそれを言語化してみたい。僕が最近感じたのが他者評価と”自称”という言葉の意味についてだ。
キャリアなり人生なりに迷いスタックする時間というのは僕の場合は他者評価と無意識で認知している本来のあるべき自分のギャップを感じているときだと思う。他者評価というのは厄介で世の中の多くの人は、他者の評価を自分の世の中の評価だと勘違い…

It’s a peculiar thing, how armchair philosophers, both professional and amateur, agonize over fuzzy concepts like “inspiration.” Whatever the hell that word even means.
