Center: Little?
Support: Echo, Seneca, Mina

I feel sad today. I'm not sure who I am. I'm pretty sure I'm Mina. I keep having feelings about children. Whenever the children cry at my job, I feel very sad. I want to give them everything they ask for. Echo says no, we have to set limits. I understand. I'm not supposed to hold them too much (it makes our boss upset) but it is confusing when our boss holds M a lot. Why does she do that? It makes me feel like I need to help them when they cry.

Mina was out yesterday at the store again. She heard a song she really liked. It made me feel like I was going to fly out and find my own body. I felt like myself. I felt like I wasn't partially Echo. I love Echo, I love co-hosting, I love helping. But I also love to be free, I love to dance without worrying about this body, I love to have FUN and I love to think about kissing people. I want my own loves, I want my own life.

Echo has been feeling better about what has been going on with M. They've been communicating better and having more closeness. The knot and the rude alter who tells them Echo is going to lose everything hasn't had as much power over them. It's nice. I feel less anxiety. I know that things can be okay. I feel secure for the first time in a long time. I need this for a while longer. Who knows how long it will last?
