Being Lots of People.

These are the people I’ve so far discovered living inside me:

The sensitive child.
The petulant, demanding adolescent.
The adventurous 30-something.
The middle aged curmudgeon.
The old sage.
The novice mystic.
The ageless person who comes out mostly when I’m driving. He gets angry easily, shouts and swears a lot, then laughs about it. He’s OK, really.
And, of course, there’s the dispassionate observer who watches them all.

It’s interesting to see which one takes the lead in different situations, and sometimes they argue among themselves so vehemently that they bring me to a standstill.

And this post isn’t just about me. I’ve heard others describe a similar disparate family of beings all pulling them in different directions. I think it might be an old soul thing.
