    Have You Ever Felt There Were Two of You?

    While posting on another thread, I went searching for a recording of an old song and serendipitously came across this fascinating quote:

    "Have you ever felt that there were two of you battling for control of the person you call yourself? Have you ever felt that you weren't quite sure which one you wanted to be in charge? All of us have at least two selves: one who wants to work hard, get good grades, and be successful; and one who would rather lie in the sun and listen to music and daydream. To understand F. Scott Fitzgerald, the man and the writer, you must begin with the idea of doubleness, or twoness."

    From FreeEssays.cc's "The Great Gatsby/Super Notes Automatic A+"
    "If you are living the life you want to live you've successfully transitioned to being the person you want to be." - Eryn.

    "If you truly care about me you should damn well want for me what I want for myself" - Michael Westen (Burn Notice)

    -.-. --.-/-.-. --.-/-.-. -../ Persephone™ and Persephone™ are trademarks of Persephone herself, accept no substitutes. The terms "en femme" and "en drab" originated with Marcia Sampson/Staylace (OBM).

    Most people don't ever think about themslves in that manner but yes we all have what you could call people. I know which one I want to have contol but it is not always so clear cut as we think.



    People are like the two sides of a coin (one could be good, one could be bad, one a man, one a woman, one meek and affraid, one outgoing and courages). This is the same for everyone even though most people don't think about it like this. Every once in a while there comes one that stands on edge so that both side are equal.

    Just my oppinion after having a hard life trying to be the tough macho boy.

    More or less yes....one being a male and the other being a female....after all weren't each of us created as a result of a male and female coming together as one doing the "wild thing"....and with each one's own individual contribution we became into existance.

    However, we get along very well so there's no conflcit between the two of us....

    It`s when you start talking to the other you and the other you answers you back , then you have to start worrying , and what makes it twice as bad is that you have to start worrying for the both of you .

    ( i made that 7 you`s and you are worrying about 2 of you.

    I keep leaving messages for Sherry.

    But, so far, she NEVER replies!

    However, I find stories about folks' duality, FASCINATING!
    U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.

    Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!

    We finally agree on something

    Yes we agree there are two of us, but usually just one at a time.

    "I am that which is not he, yet we are the same person."

    We often look at each other as two separate entities. It helps and confuses all at once. Multiplicity is eversomuch fun.

    It gets REAL hairy when you attempt to define either of us. There are two, and there is no easily visible difference, as it has nothing really to do with clothing anymore, but there is still all the difference in the world.

    She can say 'he." And he can say 'she." That's just the least of it.
    And so we go, on with our lives...

    Lies are simple, simple is Bliss.
    Why go against tradition, when we can admit defeat,
    Live in Decline, be the victim of our own design?

    Integration

    We all have two selves. one is the way we perceive ourselves. The other is how we actually are. To the extent those two selves overlap we achieve mental health.

    Male and female, good and bad, order or chaos. Yin and Yang. One of my profs used to add another thing to this list-being while becoming.

    Yes, I think so

    I would to say yes. Simply because the things my femme persona does, I would never do. The lady in me drinks, casually of course, but I do drink mixed drinks. However as a male, i do not drink at all. My femme persona would love to go out and party, and everybody that knows me as male, knows that Im really anit social. However, Farrah hasnt had a chance to really go out and party, but she's hoping she can soon. Yes I think that we are two people a since.

    Sometimes I feel like there is no me. I mean the male side which really isn't me and the female side that I have to keep hide from so many people.

    Hearing you describe it, it's like there's two of us

    Except, I was way late, and not a premie. I had to be cut out because I wouldn't be born.

    I have my good and evil selves, with my good side more or less in charge.
