Misty: I’m trying to be more courageous. I- I want to fear things less.

Glisty jumps into her fears like its a huge body of water- she jumps into the ocean fully knowing of the dangers, The sharks, The scary bug like doohicky squishies in the water. The parasites!

Stream fights hers.

Stream: I’ll admit- I am terrified. I hide it with every punch I get in. I imagine them as fighting a bear. You battle it and get over it. However- There are some fears you can’t just punch into submission. Like people. I don’t want to be THAT guy. Who gets angry (Afraid) And takes that fear out on the other person. So- I’m trying too. Regardless of my strength. You punch ice- You break your hand. You punch water- Your hand goes right through it and it soaks your hand. You punch through mist? Nothing! Doesn’t work. There are just sometimes when you can’t punch whats right in front of you have you have to figure another way around it.

Misty: I- ... I'm doing my best to try and step out of my circle of comfort. I stuck my head out the window of the car and stuck almost my whole body out. It felt great. Its good to get out of my comfort zone every once in a while. 

... I want to try to do this more often maybe. Maybe try to trust other people and possibly talk to people even. Maybe- ... Maybe i'll use red pens for once instead of pencil. 

I want to push myself to get out of my circle and expand it a little. Its become a little cramped since I've- well- we've grown. 

I want to have a little more space in my room. maybe adventure out a little. Find some new things ^w^

Hi!

I’m afraid I know very little about tuplas and I haven’t done much research on things like that, so I hesitate to answer your question!

What I do know is this: DID is involuntarily developed to help someone survive severe trauma and abuse. If your brain hasn’t felt the need to do this, that might actually be a sign that finding other coping mechanisms may be healthier (and perhaps even more effective) for you and your mind. :]

I hope that makes sense. Stay safe and remember to love yourself (even on your bad days).

The post of the definition of a tupla was in relation to William Gibson’s habit on twitter of referring to people reporting sighting of him in places he’s never been as ‘tuplas’ — and, of course, his new tupla on heello. I went googling, as as I normally do when something sends me on a fact-finding excursion, I dropped the relevant bit into my tumblr for future-keeping.

Tuplas are an interesting part of Tibetan mysticism, but I’m not particularly curious about creating them, no.
