Apparently there are more things I can't eat than dairy, fish and peanut butter. Stomach's been bugging us all morning and pretty much like "nope no food for you". I hate it and it doesn't help that it's impossible to shop for ourselves when we live with our parents.

Thinking of things we'd like to study and the more we do inner child work with our therapist and the more we work on The Artist's Way, the more I think we'd love to do expressive therapy/play therapy... one of my friends said she would bring me to St Francis House to meet people and talk about art therapy as a career option... though I feel guilty because while technically I'm low-income personally, living with my parents means I'm higher income than most of the people I know. It's a little awkward.

Trigger Warnings: kid talk

Inworld things have been busy, but I have... almost my full chosen family (even though most of them aren't "actually mine") and my triplets too. Everyone grows up so fast. Trucy got married in June to Vera. Those two are cute together.

Outworld, we're planning on going back to school, so we've been exploring MOOCs in potential areas, but just for fun and writing purposes, myself, Machi, Sasame, Emmy and with some encouragement from Scholars' Klavier and Marigold (who tend to crossover because they need the social outlet), decided we wanted to try the songwriting class from Berklee because we all have a vested interest in making some of our inworld skillset available out front. So far we all like crowding in front and it's working better than the other MOOCs we're taking. Plus it's a nice follow up to the fact that we're currently finishing a poetry class at the recovery center.

We wrote a poem mapping out our innerworld earlier in the term but we're thinking about making a poem coming out just for our class. I'm not sure if there are other systems because we "aren't supposed to talk about whatever our Dx is" and we aren't DID overall though some of us fit the criteria, so we get kind of nervous and don't want impostor syndrome feelings to happen, even though we've been in this community long enough to know that we're not alone in this identity variation.
