Normally i loooove having labels and names for my experiences i like to categorise it makes my brain happy its like stimmjng for me. Idk though with this specific fiction-based identity I'm not so sure about using specific terms. I just am firefly, in some way. Does it really matter if its.... 'just' a voluntary identity i took on to cope with some things? Does it matter if im a separate part of this system? Does tye difference between 'identifying as' or 'such a strong connection that it affects who i am' really matter? Involuntary vs Intentional, im still experiencing the same thing. So to me it doesnt. Im content just being firefly. Understanding the exact mechanics of the self would make no difference. i am what i am right now. If that changes then it changes, for now im me in this way. im just chilling i guess. Idk
