Honoring Three Selves

[qos]

I've been working through Andrea Balt's Creative Rehab / Year of You program, and have had quite a few powerful realizations as I've engaged with the material. This past weekend the title of the first journal exercise was "Accept Your Multiplicity." (Some of you will understand why this gave me a bit of a jolt/zing/twitch.)

I honor you desire to heal and nurture C. Just from the way you write about her she sounds like she could be full of vibrant, positive energy. I don't recall seeing that side of you much back in the day; perhaps your creative writing was mainly for your own eyes the way mine is. :-)

I wish you much luck as you heal that part of yourself.

Thank you!

No, I didn't share much of my creative writing here. During my review of my old entries I've found only a few snippets of longer work. But those stories were a deep part of my life, and even my sense of self. It's been unsettling in all kinds of ways to a) not have them there, and b) adapting to what that absence has done to my sense of self.
