Voices

"Gosh... It's morning again.. Is it raining or is the sun shining? Should I go swim?" voice 1 asked.

"Aarrggghhh.. Noooooo... I want to sleep some more!" voice 2 answered.

"If it is raining, I don't swim. If it is sunny, I should go swim." voice 3 said.

"Nooooo... wake up, you lazybum! Think of the tan you will get, think of how good you would feel after that, think of a toner body and it is your only chance to swim for the whole week!" voice 4 said.

After a few minutes.....

"Arrrggggghhhhhh..........Okay okay." voice 2 answered.

Everyday, I debate with myselves (if there is such a word). Debating if I should or should not do something, discussing how things should be done and I get into different characters of myself to try to make sense of things. Most times it is to justify to myself why I should or should not be doing something. Once in awhile, I would ask out loud to those around me to help me decide. It is funny how the voices just pops in naturally.

Ooo and chocolates.. I love chocolates but I can't eat too much of it because the next day's poop time will be hard, literally. When I get into the craving, I would keep popping one chocolate after another until a voice inside spank me in the head. But sometimes or rather, most times, I just don't care and face the consequences the next day. Then, the voice in me would say "told ya!".

When I was a kid, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and weird voices would play in my head. Voices that are not really comprehensible. It didn't happen all the time, just sometimes and it would come and go. The voices do not appear anymore. Nowadays, it is just my own, or different characters of myselves to help me decide on many things. Wonder what would it be like without my voices.
