as someone who also has many selves, i deeply, deeply related to this. i've adopted a strategy where i try to expose all of my selves as early as possible to someone i like, not because i'm trying to get them to understand me per se, but b/c i've come to terms w/ not feeling like our connection is real otherwise.
also "One day I am a cynic with a disgust for everything that isn't more sleep; another day, I see my bed as a prison keeping me from a dazzling life outside" made me laugh
so beautiful and honest! i loved the words you chose here. got me thinking- if the unsavory parts of me *are* a significant part of me, do i try to change or accept those parts?
