Been there, done that

Something about his new veneers made him seem like a joke. Not that they weren’t necessary--they were. My dad had grown up outside of Lubbock where there was too much fluoride in the water and as a result had had brown stains on his four front teeth for as long as I had known him. His new teeth covered the last trace of anything reminiscent of where he came from.

He smiled wide for the company website photo above the title “Chief Executive Officer.” He finally looked the part. No one in his company would guess that he used to drive a tractor for extra money during the summers on his parents’ cotton farm. Or that he used to play the banjo for the Sunday s

Part One: Life C

WHO has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God’s residence is next to mine,

covered over half of the book
the book's desighed heavy - heavier than it should be - maybe just like life of the 'patients' in the mental hospital.
it keeps raining outside, and it's getting too dark for me to continue reading. it's not the light that is darkening, it's something else.

currently in the south, damp and hot

there's apperantly not too much i could do and almost nothing i wanna do

just to stay in, and feel as if i'm gonna stay forever - or like time's gonna stay still forever

 

went to a hot spring, went to the seaside. for the first time i've been informed that i've used up the 240 text messages included in my set in a single month - should i know earlier, i'd choose a cheaper one.

 

i was thinking one sleepless night that there have to be lessons ahead - dozens of things to learn, difficulties to be met. it have to take lots of patience to get through and to be better off.  it's just lucky to have the loved ones by my side - sometime consolation can be as easy as being around - guess that's how love works, and i wish it works for long, to make our journey an endless song.

 

my second book on DID - after 'First Person Plural: My Life as a multiple'
this book's fantastic because of the details in treating the woman, the relationship, trust, and love between the patient and her psychologist.
it is amazing to know that the treatment went on for over 18 years, during which time Dr. Bear kept 622 pages of their conversation record, collect 44 peices of drawings, 49 pieces of handicrafts (made by Caron's 17 different personalities), 12 tapes, and 2 vedio tapes. in the due time, Caron sent Dr. Bear 275 e-mails, 60 postcards and over 5,000 pages of 'her' diary and letters.
their work were amazing and unimaginable. my tears went down when Caron and Dr. Bear decided to end their work - the treatment, though there's joy that Caron finally got herself through all this.
life with DID can be VERY VERY HA
