Tyler Durden, Dismissed

️I woke up this morning thinking about Tyler Durden. For those of you who don't know who he is, let me give you a brief explanation. Tyler Durden is a character from the movie Fight Club and this is what he says about himself, which in turn says it all,... "All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look the way you wanna look, I fuck the way you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways you are not." Tyler Durden is the alter ego of the main character Jack.

So why did I wake up thinking about this character who is a delusion of a fictional character. Well, I am not exactly sure, but while discussing it with Keri I said something along the lines that everyone would probably like to have a Tyler Durden in their life and she said except that Jack went a little psycho to get his Tyler Durden.

I wasn't really thinking about the "going a little psycho" part of that scenario, I was thinking more about being free, about letting go of concerns about what other people think about me and my choices. I was thinking about the freedom of being true to myself without being dissuaded by concerns of what others think.

I guess if you were a psychotic delusion of a fictional character there would be no consequences of totally disregarding all opinions. So is it even reasonable for a real person to desire such a thing? It seems to me that a compassionate person would take into consideration the feelings of others and come to some sort of compromise.

I don't want to be an aggressive person that doesn't take others feelings into consideration. I like the sweet person that I am. I believe I am more assertive than I have ever been, and I am happy with the freedom I have to be me. I am eager for more expansion.
