content: I agree, although it oft feels difficult to find time to be yourself. Those gaping wounds from the pieces lost tend to ache and bleed over into all the elements of life. Many times I feel as though I've carved out so many portions of myself that I no longer recall my original shape. Like I'm just some strangely mangled and marred piece that no longer fits anywhere.  Currently working on the stitching and micro rebellions however. I suppose it just takes to time and a lot of sawing/stitching to discover the shape you wish to assume.
