Besoin, Be soi

Guess what? It turns out that I have way more need to be acknowledged, affectionately, than I like to think. Or like to pretend. I'm not sure there's a difference.

seems to imply a kind of doubling. the liking and the thinking being a bit of a pretend
and pretending is a sort of exploration. formally, mimesis, but with much more interesting uses in everyday life. playing, learning, subrterfuge, criminality.
i used to like that stuff about mimesis, i seem to remember something interesting from roger callois about it, and stuff about doubles.
