I went and created a DW account just to be able to comment on this. Hi.
"The endless hyperfocus on beginnings and not on journeys" is such a good way to describe it. And it's partly understandable (I love introspection too, I get it), but also sometimes good grief is it exhausting. I was just talking about this with Elizabeth the other day (although I don't remember where). There's a lot of... atomizing of the nuances of inner feelings, which is all good and fine, except when it seems like that's crowding out any conversation about the bigger picture. Like how amatonormativity can't be combated with just "visibility" and how our society structures the norm of the nuclear family.
