Journal Entry: 1-15-2012
The life of self-actualization is a grueling one, but it pays off in the long run. Once the individual has discovered who she is and what she wants to do with her life, much is sacrificed by her to get her priorities straight.
This self-actualizer is a creature of solitude. She must spend much of her time alone and apart in order that she may come to know, shape and develop the self during the arduous process of "doing her art", be it one of the fine arts or some other pursuit.
She can and still should love, get married, play, work a job and raise a family. She can have friends and partake of society. She should engage in some or all of these second tier considerations as is her wont--to the extent that she is comfortable with.
Her life of positive self-absorption and solitude deeply influence and establish how she will live.
