Recently,
I had been watching a Cantonese Hong Kong drama about the girl having multiple
personality disorder, which means she has different characters playing out in her
life without her knowledge and awareness. One second, the crazy one will come
out and ruin her normal life; suddenly, another second
one will be naively following some strangers into danger. The ‘main personality’
could not control her other ‘side personalities’ inside her body.
Childish or Mature? Left or Right? Positive or Negative?
It
had me thinking a lot how I talked in my previous post how people could be perceived
as an extrovert and introvert at the same time, even with the same person
looking on the same characteristics. This could downright display the notion
that in fact every single one of us has different way of dealing something, depending
on the situation faced in front of us.
In
the drama, the ‘normal’ personality plays out what a mature adult does. She
went to work from 9 to 5 and had a perfect boyfriend. She was, what people thought
as, a successful independent Iron Lady.
Whereas,
her 'another personality' is an angry, crazy bitch. She is always hot-headed and
does things without ever thinking the consequences. She portrays as the reckless
kid as doing whatever she wants at all costs.
'Another side personality' is rather sad and depressed. She always lives in her own bubbles of
isolation. She feels like every living things like pesticides and bugs have to be loved and cherished. She is
viewed as over-sympathizing and hypersensitive, even a cockroach also be viewed as a loved
pet and be appreciated under delicate care. (if you are like that, I am not going to judge but I will stay far away
from you.)
This drama seems like a little bit too unrealistic, but I bet every one of you has that some part of those personalities somehow lingering inside your soul and spirit. Anger riled up, sadness contained and faked being normal to go on your lives.
And I want to tell you: That is fucking normal!
Think about it: our human bodies consist of around 206 to 210 bones, depending on some counting of sternum (go google what that is), then we have left brain and right brain which functions differently and ironically working together in so many ways. Trillions of nerves are inside of our body to fight off bacteria and build up our immune system.
So, what is wrong of having so many personalities inside
one body? Embrace all of them!
Be an adult when face with challenges or difficulties; be a child when enjoy with celebrations/happiness. No need to worry for acting like an adult OR a child.
Be both or be anyone that you like because you dictate your own life. Do not let some
stupid stranger, naysayers or even your beloved families and friends stop you.
People can become various version of them like how we can deal with various type of people in our surroundings. We are an adult and a child, regardless of our ages. We are both and both are us.
Or any other version you are: angry bitch, calm guy, annoying bastard, crazy kid, mature man, amazing woman…
After all, what’s the fun in it when you are all work and no play? What’s more is that you are not being the fullest of yourselves?
Release
that beast and enjoy the wildness 😉
