Sometime, I think I, too, have multiple personalities… two, to be exact. One is very afraid, afraid of everything – people, places, life or death… The other is brave and content — she knows she has learned a lot, achieved some; she knows she has good friends whom she can always count on.
I wonder if I have inherited one from my mom and the other from my dad. If so, I shall love them both.
Multiple personalities: We each are like a polyhedron, many sides to us, and that is why it can be difficult with marriage or friendships, you do not fit on all the sides. This not my original idea, I read it in a book by James Hollis. Now, I wonder where that book is so I could tell you the title. Found it!! It turned out I have five books by this Jungian analyst and I read them at a very bad time in my life 18 years ago. My favorite was one called Swamplands of the Soul. Another one was about midlife. Gee, I just realized I am not in midlife anymore!!

Interesting! I always thought marriage is like a two-piece puzzle. My husband and I are definitely not the right pieces to fit together. But now that we are aged, it seems these two pieces fit better now… one thing that is good with aging. 😉
