Then of course my ADD gets the better of me and i stop thinking deep thoughts and start wondering about the implications of two minds connected together. If I put my head in someone else's, they would have everything that makes me ME. All the problems and good things that forged ME. If they were to reward my complete trust in them, and allow me to see the THEIR naked mind, (which I sincerely hope they would, I'd be a bit hurt if they didn't, after I literally showed them everything I ever tried to hide) then wouldn't we become the same person? We would BOTH be the combination of each other. Assuming that my mind had just as loud a voice in their's, and their's in mine, and that nobody was driven crazy by this little event, we would become the SAME PERSON. The combined strengths and weaknesses of both. Would our weaknesses combine to cripple us? Or would our combined life experience and personal strengths be enough to overcome the others weaknesses? If I had even the slightest amount of writing skill I would feel I had to write a novel exploring the different possibilities. Would we go on to live our separate lives, gaining different experiences, and develop into two totally different people again? Or would the combined lives and personalities be strong enough to keep us essentially the same? Which raises ANOTHER question, this one about the origin of personalities. Are people made from the life they live? Or were they ALWAYS going to be the same personality from birth. Are they BORN with the potential to be anyone, and life brings out certain traits, while others remain inside them, with no influence at all, like seeds never watered? Or was I from birth, say, ALWAYS an ENFP? Newborns cant express personality types. That's not to say they don't have different personalities, but that means nothing, because ALREADY they have been gaining experience that could have made them into who they are.

Absolution, ADD, and The Mind Meld

Thanksgiving
In the eyes of the world, I'm legally an adult. I don't always live up to that, because in many ways, I'm still a kid. Adults don't climb onto their roofs at night and lay back and stare at the stars when they feel alone. Adults know how far to push things. Adults know how to restrain themselves. We'll, they should anyway. I know my brother in law annoys the hell out of me sometimes because he's a big tease and he always pushes it too far. And I'm guilty of that very thing. But for all my flaws, I AM trying. And this year, as I was going over the people and things I am thankful for, I decided to do it a little differently. A simple happy thanksgiving isn't really enough, and so I've written several stories and sent them off to people who need to hear them. So happy Thanksgiving! And don't feel bad if you didnt get a story, I'm not sending them out to all the people who I'm thankful for, just the ones who I need to satly the most too.
