Writing Letters to Miinky

[tuesday_morning]

This week, I went out and bought myself a composition notebook with a cute hand-sewn cover from a small store in town. It looks bright and full of life, so I thought it would make a wonderful book for me to begin writing letters to Miinky (with "Miinky" being a placeholder for my legal name). Something about writing letters to her is cathartic and healing. I write personal letters to Miinky and add song lyrics to other pages in the notebook as well. It's a book in memory of her that focuses on where I'm currently at as well as where I've been.

It might sound a bit silly, but sometimes I imagine that I'm able to retroactively send my words of encouragement and support to the Miinky of the past, as if to help comfort and heal her in a way that I wish someone could have back then. I wish that I could go back in time as a double of myself and hug Miinky, letting her know that she's going to live and that it's all going to be alright. But then, that's what the notebook I got is for.

I hope she knows that I love her dearly.

Having a best friend who has dealt with DID and even an alter of a different gender, it's made me quite curious about how people experience these kinds of things. Would you consider telling me about the different alters and parts of you? I'd like to know more about how you and your system function.

Writing letters is probably very cathartic because it gives you the ability to step outside and to say what you want to say. I say this is a great idea.
