Two years have passed since the doctor said that I have a DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple personality disorder. When I found out, I felt shocked and afraid but later on, I realized that it was not my fault why I had this. It was triggered by the discriminations and traumas I had experienced in school. That supposed to be a dream come true to be able to go to such a good school and still it is. It's just that, the opportunity came with the unexpected challenges and discriminations that I never thought I would encounter. This makes me who I am today. I have been living with DID for the past years and I learned to live with them. As time went by, I realized that the different personalities inside my body are destined to protect me in times of trouble. I realized that it was my brain's response to pain and trauma. Now, I am befriend with Max (the fierce and brave), Lily (the girly and confident), Angeline (the dramatic and suicidal), and Kyle (the one that are sometimes being cold to Kristy and her funny jokes). I realized that they come to exist on purpose. As they are here to fight for me and to protect me when the soft-spoken and forgiving Jada Malawani cannot. By that, I accepted them wholeheartedly. And I accept and love myself for who I am as a person including my physical appearance, my age, ethnicity, my thoughts, imperfections and the different personalities living inside my mind. The Jada before is now become stronger and more courageous on anything the world would throw or offer.
