I enjoyed your exploration of your inner beings. And isn't it great that you can invite the various selves inside you for assistance when you need them?

Thanks Beth. Yes, I'm trying to inject more fun into my writing. My default is toward heaviness, so trying to lighten up a bit. 😊

I'm glad you enjoyed. Happy to hear I'm not the only one. Our characters add depth and richness to life I think.

Thank you for sharing, Phoebe. I so much recognize myself in your posts! I have always had a lot of people in my head, there's a 6 year old girl, a romantic teenager, a goofy and joyful young adult, a man called Roger who is very blunt but sweet, a very flamboyant drag queen and lots of others.

I have Fear as well: she is a dolly faced girl with a blue backpack on her back as though she were coming back from school. She used to be very talkative but she's become more quiet these past few years.

Quite a while ago, I watched a series that was called "The United State of Tara" which told humorously the story of a schizophrenic woman who let all the characters in her head inhabit alternatively in her daily life. I so much recognize myself in that show. Lots of love.

You have a rich inner world. That is something to celebrate, not fear. I enjoyed hearing about your interesting characters.😊 Thanks for sharing. I'll have to look out for the United States of Tara - sounds fun! 💜

This is such a fun way to describe all the elements of your Creative Soul. I would have similar elements in me without the clever names. Although … there is Mean Girl Regina.

I also refer to my “Creative Soul”.

I have a strong memory of my mother dressing up as a stick of licorice!

Haha, yes. There's always a mean girl. I'm probably just in denial about her. A stick of licorice - sounds yummy. 💜
