unselfing is just a myth
so fernando pessoa is talking about unselfing into who you really are, but what does that even mean in a world where identities are just simulations of selves like pessoa's own concept of heteronyms, where he created multiple personas to express different aspects of himself, blurring the lines between reality and fiction . it's all just a performance, a staged identity, and the idea of "unselfing" is just a romantic notion that we can somehow shed our constructed selves and reveal our true nature, but that's just not how it works, we're stuck in this endless loop of sign-exchange and simulation.
