Our identities are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves.
Every identity is false because the ego is the false self.
Everyone wants to be special just like everyone else.
There are infinite paths to your destination.
A simple life is the default human state.
Resentment is a consequence of clinging to the way you wish things were.
Limiting beliefs are the most dangerous form of identity clutter.
The process is only as compelling as its benefits.
Expectations are the bedrock for disappointment.

I am definitely going to share the clip with the co-dependency tweets, I feel like those examples are so applicable to numerous relationships myself or loved ones have.
