I really like this. I try and look at the world from this perspective, however I have counted my alters sort of. I find more every time.
Let me introduce you to my crew: Veronika, 5, "Cowboy" (I think his name is Mike) are the one's I know of the most. I've had about 3 random one off types, but I also know there's more in me that just haven't had to come out yet.
So in a way I can't count. As my fiancé says "I love
all of you." so it doesn't matter how many there are, they're all part of 'me'.
