“I said, ‘Brother you have to ask yourself two questions, Who am I? And how may I become myself?’ That’s basic person-centered therapeutics. You want the client to feel important, to feel that he or she is in control of the healing process. Remember that shit.” –The Sellout, a novel by Paul Beatty
“WHO am I?”
“WHAT do I want?”
“WHY do I want it?”
These questions are not just for the writer or actor to answer in the story they’re telling or the character they’re portraying, but every person in life must answer these questions for themselves. Or at least continually ask. As the value is in the attempt.
Otherwise, in an era where all are relentlessly vying for your time and attention, the story will get written for you.
