Compared to V1 identity as a dependency is an interesting step attachments are more accurate emotions and how open: both are worth exploring... CONTROL is intriguing and dangers. flux and flight seems more true, but with the truth of emotion changing, the choice of what to share would play into control emotional memories will always flux - it’ll be interesting to see what sticks for how long, how to release them, what will arise out of nowhere More accurate emotional wounds, too. less... emotionally swayed? also way more accurate disappointment - validating. realistic. Better self forgiveness - more real and grounded in your answers
