When I was younger, I used to want “I am rooted, but I flow,” from Virginia Woolf’s The Waves tattooed on me; I’ve always presented as inherently contradictory and the quote embodies that tendency better than any other I’ve came across and I’ve come across a lot. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how brains works, particularly my own, because I know mine better than anybody else’s, and I’m admittedly introspective to the point of being self-obsessed. Like Simone de Beauvoir before me, I don’t think genius itself is inherent and rather is constructed, but also like Simone de Beauvoir before me, I have a certain arrogance about my intelligence that I don’t have about my beauty or kindness or lack thereof, and I’m less apologetic of it than I perhaps ought to be.
