It&#8217;s something internal to me.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my way of fighting the monsters. The monsters (in this case) are the things that gnaw away at who I am. The things that make me uncomfortable being the me that I am.<\/p>\n<p>I like operating with a clear conscious. Gods know I have done more than my share of dumb things deceiving myself that something was okay. So, I&#8217;ve learned to listen to my inner voice and my gut when doing things. Trying not to act out of habit but out of intent.<\/p>\n<p>This would all be great&#8230; if all my inner voices were on my side. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Oh, ye who now reach for books to see if Andrei is Psychotic&#8230;tosh!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has voices of doubt in their head. Voices that keep you from making the best progress. Voices that keep you safe and secure, even when you don&#8217;t need to be. Sometimes they are on your side, they mean well. They are the voice in your head as you&#8217;re about to jump out of an airplane, screaming, &#8220;What the F*#$ are you doing! You&#8217;re gonna get yourself killed!!!!&#8221; They&#8217;re the ones that tell you not to talk to the person in the bar because they are gonna just say, &#8220;no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You fight these voices. And you learn more about yourself.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; when I find something that annoys me, irritates me, or makes me uncomfortable. That&#8217;s when the magickian in me rolls up the sleeves of my robe. That&#8217;s when it&#8217;s time to go dragon hunting.<\/p>\n<p>More forthcoming as I face this new dragon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1106\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/05\/24\/it-makes-me-uneasy-that-it-makes-me-uneasy-that\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1106\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/05\/24\/it-makes-me-uneasy-that-it-makes-me-uneasy-that\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-1106\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/05\/24\/it-makes-me-uneasy-that-it-makes-me-uneasy-that\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lordandrei.com\/blog\/2004\/05\/24\/it-makes-me-uneasy-that-it-makes-me-uneasy-that\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am in the midst of writing a post to my S&#038;F filter.
