Not seamless. People with no edges, no bumps, no unexpected gaps, are a little scary to me because they feel so constructed. Not that we should run around letting our inner two-year-old out to play anytime she wants to -- that gets a little old for everyone. But the two-year-old is there, no? It seems so pointless and self-hurtful to spend our lives either denying that she exists or trying to beat her to death. Better if we can learn to know and live with all our selves, to control what we must/can and keep trying to find that center from which we can see all our facets, integrate ourselves, get aligned with who we are.

I've been doing so much work with my therapist lately, and she encourages me to seek out these many different parts of myself, because indeed, there are many. The tragic part of this all is that it's only been after 33 years of living did I come to identify these many parts of 'self'. I am just grateful that I am discovering them one by one, and I am also aware that there are SO MANY others that have to live day to day not knowing that they too have many different parts of themselves they can learn from. It gives me such joy to know that I have a bright future ahead of me, knowing that I can love the many parts of myself, (whether they themselves agree with one another or not!) and that there is so much to look forward to in getting to know them. I'm glad to know you and so many others have the pleasure of this too. I hope you have a wonderful day too Kelley. :) This is such an encouraging post!
