I have never had to deal with race or gender issues. Only two are male and one is a child and the other is only interested in playing video games. So I can be a girly girl. The nail polish made me smile, but upon
reflection it must be annoying.
I stopped caring what people think a very long time ago. Multiples have
a superior gift of survival-that's why we are what we are. We are so
strong-just making it through life is so complicated! I am incognito because most of the time my 'sharing' has gone badly. People cannot
process this disorder-so they fear it. And they start with the labels.
So when I hear the name calling I look at the source. Compare their
intellect and education to my own. Determine if they are qualified to
make a diagnosis. Since they are not able to carry on a conversation
with me about the weather, most of the time, I remind myself that the
average I.Q. in this country is 100 and recognize they are probably a
moron. My landlord warns all the new tenants that I'm crazy, but my cat
is smarter than he is. And my rent is so ridiculously low that I don't give a flying fart what comes out of his peckerwood mouth.
So yeah, I have my bad days. But all my friends live with me and none
of them eat my food or tell me what movies to watch.  |
I guess it’s this stupid male pride that keeps the guys embarrassed and ashamed, but I’m not going to belittle or lessen myself over their feelings...after all, I got feelings, too.
Of course we have complied with the oppressive rules for much too long, but we are also though co-operative and complicit in keeping the nature of our system secret for posterity sake.
You are so strong and we applaud you.
Us being beat up by our parents till we moved out and judged by everyone since birth has created a desire to be accepted as a legitimate individual.
We are now 50 and fear rejection of the social kind. We are able bodied and no where qualifiable for disability even with the bipolar diagnosis...and have no desire to fight everyone that disses us....even though we do have some warriors and wolves in here....got a tight grip on them because if they were to turn lose...we would probably go away for a long time.
But anyways....love your set.
