Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Mona, I don't really think my inner child ran away.as far as stealing ideas? I think the inner kid is void of them and I choose which ones to make it " live and torment itself with " or I have done that. Not now.I really don't see it. I think I am done with that. So I have a separate " inner child " ? I don't think so. I think it is just a stage of my development and like the before kids me and the after kids me, it is all a part of the big package. Nothing is separate. My daughter asked me to teach her how to throw a football. I can do that. I am going to go buy one this evening and we will spend time on the beach tossing a football. I am left handed so my right shoulder will not be of matter. ( I had the surgery on it a few weeks ago) I can do it because that time in my life is not compartmentalized. I can still toss a mean football! I am often light hearted in jest and I am sure no one can tell on the screen! I say the inner kid ran away, I would have if I could have! LOL. no one runs away, I pretended a lot but it was pretend. I mean haven't you ever brushed your teeth and pretended it was a toothpaste commercial? Or cleaned the house and then dusted and just for a moment you are the lady in the Pledge commercial and the swipe of the cloth looks just like hers.(yeah I can get that much dust!)..Or, as you put away the tools in the tool chest you might as well be a mechanic? It is all just fun. I love to get into my " secretarial mode " if I have to file things or it is boring. It is just some silly mind games that I do to amuse myself. I am totally aware. How about cooking! Child! Oh yeah! Flour and stuff everywhere! LOL It is play. I like to play. Life is full of play and stories do not have to be about defense! They can be fun!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 There are many parts of you. When you are 13, and become 14, the 13 year old is still in there, the if you will, unenquired of beliefs of the 13 year old. Perhaps beyond your conscious awareness.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Tepet, You have a different opinion or I do? Oh I think it is so hard to pin down thoughts on this screen when half the time I am in jest! It is more irony than jest I suppose. I say that my inner kid ran away .that was a full out lie! It was a statement like " oh I just put my head in the sand " . I didn't really put my head in the sand. I just was oblivious or thought I was. I use terms like " run away " meaning avoidance. And yes, there are some days when I feel certain about one thing and others when I do not. I am not as firm in what I believe anymore. That I think was part of the compartmentalizing of dissociation. It needed to find a category. Hence one category became very specific and did not always over lap another. (in fact this was important that it often did not touch another) This is a great set up for thinking that there were " separate me's " or an inner child me, a teen me an adult me, a molested me, a good student, a naughty me, a brilliant me etc. Now I realize there are days when I am down right brilliant and some when I am a slug! LOL. I do not have to have a judgment one way or another. They are all great. They are all me and moods are not separate personalities. Moods are just moods. I can feel like going to a movie or staying home. It is not the " lets go out on the town me " vs. the " introverted watch TV and don't bug me, me " It is a genuine change in what I feel at any certain time. It is relaxed and very uncalculated. It happens out of how I feel.I can get talked out of it too! My kids can say. " Oh come on! Don't you want to go to the show? There is that one you have been wanting to see! We will get a big popcorn and some candy.come on " ..Ok, I will go. No biggie. No problem with out of integrity. No switch over to the yeee hawwww lets party at the movies. It is just " pick up some bucks and the keys and lets get in line--nothing more. " The " work " has helped me a lot! I feel good.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Tepet, Yes, there are nerve pathways that hold memories. I see the separations as the 13 year old memory, not a separate self. I can remember how I felt at a certain age. I can remember how exciting simple things were. I don't necessarily go bonkers to feed a horse now, but I can remember the smell, the sound of the bit in its mouth, the sound of the leather of a saddle. Not a separate self but a memory. In fact, now I think that horses are rude! They poop at eye level! LOL..Ok I am in jest! April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 I buy inner personalties, but never blame them. Yes, a mood is just a mood, no justification required.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Suggested to somone yesterday, find a #2 yellow pencil, put it in your mouth, and see where that takes you. Smile.
