System:

We were settled in our ways, so to speak....but every few years someone gets out and stirs the pot....hard- and here we go again. Life changing moments.

I know that switching was very low and anonymous....but somebody had to get treated for depression which opened up the flood gates to reconfronting MI. From depression to BD to DID/OSDD. ****.

Everything changes in these life altering moments and now we are back to where we began like in the earlier adult years- trying to take a foothold in ourselves- a rebranding of sorts.

We tried to live the simple life by choice, mindless of self in denial, a topper to ease the mental agony. Being simple meant less options which meant less switching. Living like a hermit on a hill in the woods, away from the public, coming down and going out for basic supplies and lots of beer to stay numb and forget. This lasted for years- a good run by our standards. But....

One can only top things off for so long till the top blows and things boil over.

No going back, once again. We are looking for "the new you"- what is this new life's flavor? Let's try something with a little more urban and color flare, but not so over the top noticeable but much free'er than the last. These co-conscience collaborations are so much fun, it's like building a character (image and life theme) using our traits and skills as color (deciding who is going to be the new mains). A work in progress!

This is like the 10th or more life changer.

This is why it's news for us.

I'm done here....I'm on the out.
