Dissociation isn't just "checking out" or switching "parts." Dissociation also manifests as our thoughts, feelings, & behaviors being seemingly unconnected to each other, at least consciously-- like we're walking around fragmented, brain, heart, & body strangers to each other.
My life began when I realized nobody knows what they’re doing. There’s no “council of elders” running the world. You don’t need permission to do anything. You don’t need approval or qualifications. You can just do things. Embrace that and the world starts bending to your will.
@Mubarak_mubious I assumed constant approval was essential,
Until I met someone who lived unapologetically.
They thrived without everyone’s validation,
And I learned freedom isn’t earned it’s claimed.
