I am a physical being. With machinery subject to the laws of physics. My inputs and outputs are constrained to a reality far more limited than the abstracted levels of dreams and imagination.
This is both the super power that allows me to move the world but also reality of the limits.
I am a social being. My ability to think part of shared expanse of a web of billions. I have exceptional sensors for this task but this also means other people also can have an immense effect on me as well. From close personal relationships, parasociol ones, with both real and imagined beings.
This helps me a lot. I need to eat, sleep, breathe, and perform other maintenance tasks. I need to aware of the social aspects of my life. Set boundaries, to communicate my needs and wants so they can respond accordingly, and adjust my own plans based on the new understanding they can give. I make many things I am very proud of, but there is no shame now that I can snap huge things into existence in an instance. It takes time and physical processes to happen and that's ok.
