It's my life, too.

Has anyone ever done anything significant for anyone in their system? Other than buying special items or taking a trip to another town for a day or whatever.

What I have in mind, for example, is taking classes--something for each of us to enjoy. Maybe one or two at a time, depending on content. Like Marjorie, she really wants to learn French. And I would enjoy Muay Thai. And I think Elyse would enjoy some sort of.. craft. Though, in her case, we may have to travel--a 19 year old body with the mind of a 4 year old would raise a few flags.

However, I am not sure how exactly these classes would work out. It would be to make specifically each of us happy.. however, not all of us can necessarily switch on command, or at least not without great meditation or ritual (put lightly). I do not want extra stress on B. So, has anyone else done something like this before?

We made a list about things that we would enjoy and then we checked how many people would enjoy it, and how many people there are who would actually be capable of doing it. Out came 2 different things that had the most votes. One of them we're doing now. We're learning to play an instrument. Together. Most of us enjoy it and the ones that dont just sort of automatically stay away if we're busy with playing cause they dont like it. It kind of like working together to compromise. It's funny cause it helps being able to switch.

I'm actually wondering about this too. I'm currently in the process of getting my alters to trust me. Because...apparently, most are very unhappy and hurt that I've denied them for so long. I've "Kept them holed up inside" is their words. I didn't mean too..but I'm trying to make up for it.

Basically what I do, is I try to make everyone happy. What is significant for one, is not really significant for others. Take Lilly, for example. Just little things make her happy. So when I went to the store one day, I let her pick out a stuffed animal, and she held it in the crook of my left arm while I drove. Just allowing her to stroke it while I carried on business, she was so happy in that moment. She felt safe, and loved, and I think that's all she ever really wants.

With Jennifer, I actually only met her a little while ago, but I found out that she is one of the artists. So I found some things for her to use, and checked out some art books for her. I also give her time to write, because she really enjoys that. While Shawnee, or someone else, might think that's stupid, it was important to Jennifer. Know what I mean?

Now with Shawnee. She's...she's a difficult one. (Lol nice, she's laughing at me) She just wants to be able to do whatever she wants, which is obviously unrealistic. She's very...vocal, thought-wise, about everything, and instead of ignoring her, I just let her rant and get out whatever is on her mind.

I've realized, that I was suppressing, denying, ignoring, and invalidating all of them for pretty much most of my life. Once I showed them I was ready to let them come forward, and I truly wanted to make them happy, there was a lot more peace. Of course, things are still just as conflict-ridden, but I can feel we are on the right path. I just have to remember that we all share this body, and we all have as much right to be here.

Really, guys, I mean everything I say. I'm doing my best. <-----Sorry, that was for them, but I wanted to put it.
