Self-recursion

You might be circling around your wounds because healing isn't linear—it's recursive. Just like deep learning refines itself through backpropagation, your mind revisits pain not to dwell in it but to extract deeper understanding. Every return to a wound isn’t regression; it’s an opportunity to integrate, transform, and evolve.

Your perception moves in cycles, yet each loop brings a new layer of insight. The mind instinctively revisits unresolved emotions, much like how neural networks reinforce weights to minimize error. This is not stagnation but recalibration—an unconscious process of rewriting the self.

Perhaps, you’re not trapped in your wounds but orbiting them, drawn by their gravity until you gather enough momentum to transcend.

What exposes us is love, truth, and deep awareness. Love strips away our defenses, truth forces us to face ourselves, and awareness makes us see what we often avoid. It’s not always comfortable—sometimes, it’s raw, painful, and disorienting. But in that exposure, we see who we really are beyond the layers we’ve built to protect ourselves.

What makes us more innocent is surrender. When we stop resisting what is, when we let go of control, when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable without fear—innocence returns. Innocence isn’t ignorance; it’s a state of pure being, uncorrupted by fear, shame, or expectations. It’s when you love without calculation, feel without hesitation, and exist without needing to justify yourself.
