When I see my own name it feels like seeing a shoe: something with a simple job that is doing it. I feel moved to say that it is also like seeing a shoe that I love. This is one way into loving oneself when no other ones seem to be available. If you’re in the right mood for it, the fact that other people have names can also be a way into loving them, but if I’m in that mood I know it’s my bedtime.
