today my mom told me "you remind me of your dad, even your eyes are the same"
when I was little, many people used to said I looked like him. at that time I loved it, but now that's the worst "compliment" you can say to me.
do I really look like him?
I don't think so, but when I speak or take selfies sometimes I see him on me. i can't deny it.
I hate it, because that means I have parts of him in my life. I don't want them. I don't want him in my life anymore.

the complexity here is real. you want to reject him but your own reflection keeps showing you something you can't reject
-
when you say you don't want parts of him in your life - is the physical resemblance the thing that bothers you most, or is it more the reminder
-
the "i can't deny it" part says a lot. you're being clear-eyed about something really difficult
-
catch yourself in a selfie and suddenly you're seeing him instead. hits different when you're trying to get distance
-
i think the hard part is that you can't unsee it once you're looking at it differently. your face didn't change, but what it means to you did

-
have you gotten to a point where you see the resemblance without automatically hating it, or is it pretty much always connected to the other stuff
-
does he know that you feel this way about the resemblance? or is this mostly something you're processing on your own

The Burden of Truth: On Choice, Illusion, and the Things We Call Good ( Part 1 )
What if the questions we never ask are more important than the answers we spend our lives chasing? This is not an attempt to provide certainty, but to dismantle it. If you've ever wondered whether truth is always worth knowing, whether morality is anything more than perspective, or whether every choice is simply the selection of a different regret, read on.

Does 'no days off' actually mean you're training hard enough?
“No days off” is one of those phrases that sounds tough right up until you think about it for more than five seconds. Because what is the sentence actually saying? If you genuinely train hard, really hard, with enough intensity to force adaptation, your body will demand recovery. Not emotionally. Biologically. Tissue damage, nervous system fatigue, glycogen depletion, inflammatory response. The entire point of hard training is that the body cannot fully maintain itself without rebuilding…

Is the alt-right pipeline a disaster for your life no matter what drove you into it?
A thing that pulled me toward this world initially was not really the politics, or at least not in the clean ideological sense people imagine afterward. It was the feeling of recognition. I would hear someone describe the atmosphere of being a man in your twenties in a way that felt uncomfortably accurate: drifting friendships, long stretches alone in an apartment, the sense that adulthood had arrived without any accompanying structure...
