yep somtime I see glimpses of my sisters in me - but i dont know if there is a me anymore - or if there ever was ? when I was very young I remember being able to sing in two voices in my head - its one of the few memories I have - I saw the movie Sybil about a woman wiht multiple personalities and can remember thinking - that I needed to have only one voice left -my thinking voice only - so I shut up the other voice - sometimes now I think thatt the voice I shut up was the real me and thats why I dont have the memories - maybe I dont have an authentice self? maybe thats why I cant find it? I'm just made up of pieces of other people....
