Lauru, I have the same experience. I assure you, I am not effed up at all.
What you said actually makes a lot of sense to me. After all we change so much, and the old self is not the new self, but did help get us where ever we are. I am not a child anymore, but the child me I still remeber, there are still parts left, why not communicate.
Was just thinking tho, what if you tried to fogive your other selves, and see if you could find frienship with them ? Might help maybe ? I dunno I am just thinking.
