You Gotta Be Silly And Whimsical And Full Of Joy Sometimes So Baby Systems Know They Have Options. Remember:

But what if your headmates force you to do something you dont want to?

My headmates:

"you know you should probably go for walk, some fresh air would make you feel better."

"You shouldnt stay up so late, your only going to make yourself tired in the morning."

"you should make a sandwich instead of just snacking all day."

honestly, i think the best part of our plurality is the emotional bleedthrough we have. it happens more the stonger the emotions are and it feels exactly like im feeling my own emotions, but im not the source of it.

if one of us is feeling bad, like stressed, sad, anxious, whatever, well now the others know exactly how they feel and can help to comfort them so much better than they could otherwise, also its great to just feel them calm down as you help.

but its gets better, it happens with joy as well. it really is an amazing feeling just bounceing pure happiness off each other, and theres been a few times we've gotten into a bit of a feedback loop with it.

im not sure were we saw it but i remember seeing a quote along the lines of "shared pain is halved, shared joy is doubled" and thats exactly what is like.

we love being plural and wouldnt trade it for the world.

more adhd things

Honestly I love super niche origin terms. The why and how you exist is something that can be super duper important to someone – just look at how many religions try to answer that question about the human species or individual people, as well as all the philosophical debate about the meaning of life, or even just the personal family stories of why someone's parents decided to have/keep them – and it's no surprise that we (plurals and headmates in general) like to answer this question for ourselves when we have such unique paths and causes for existence. I just finally figured out how to put into words my own reason for existence and I'm really happy about that! I hope all headmates out there who are struggling with "why do I exist" are able to find a satisfactory answer too, whether that means you find a specific origin term that fits you, you coin your own term, or you decide to forgo origin terms and describe yourself in a freestyle way. You're not alone in searching for answers – not in this community, and not in general, either. A lot of folks out there are asking the same questions you are.

having crushes on my fellow headmate is so bizarre. like... my heart is racing at the other voice in our head. i want to hold our hands together, i want to wrap our arms around us so you can feel the sensation of us embracing. i want to share meals with you and see what your tastebuds like or dislike compared to mine. i love us because i love you. ✧ julian

i assure you, my brain contains the normal number of voices.
