So my dog and I were in a demo at the Canada Day festivities this weekend. We did Scent Hurdling, which we've been practicing for a few months now. This time he distinguished between 4 dumbbells, brought the right one back without dropping it and jumped over all the hurdles. We are well on our way to making the team and actually competing!! Words can not describe how happy I am with my dog. He didn't get distracted at all, he knew exactly what he had to do and he was so happy doing it. I couldn't ask for anything more. I love him.
Later on Nice Guy came to watch fireworks with my friends and I. We all laid on a couple blankets and I really liked that part. I'm very cuddly, I love puppy piles. He then came back to my house after and my temporary roommate went to bed. We spent an hour talking and he kissed me. I don't know if I'm feeling it though. I really do like him. I'm attracted to him. But I feel like something is missing. I think it's something carnal. This guy is a little too sweet to be able to imagine carnal with him. I'll keep going for a little while to see if I change my mind about this.
Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."
