About Me — Rui Alves
How an autobiography became a poem about our metaphysical surrogates
Jan 26, 2021
I have been postponing writing this piece since September 2020. However, now that I reached the one hundred articles milestone, it's time to celebrate this achievement by writing an About Me story.
However, I wanted to share with you, dear reader, more than my autobiography.
Hence, I decided to write about myself, but from a metaphysical point of view, inspired by my motto:
Writing to find the surrogate writer in me!
“The individual does actually carry on a double existence: one designed to serve his own purposes and another as a link in a chain, in which he serves against, or at any rate without, any volition of his own.”
― Sigmund Freud
