Something is wrong with me.

It's January 1st, and I, Vidente Laveau, am writing this at three AM because I can't sleep. I stay in Forks, Washington, where it's always raining and chilly with a population of 3,385. I live in a, basically a cabin. Yes, in the woods too. Creaky and all. I've lived here all my life damn near. I'm 18 right now. My grandma died last year, and I live with my mom. But my grandma was honestly my everything. We called her Grandma Odie from Princess and the Frog. She taught me everything I know. I miss her...

Anyways, I started writing because there's something wrong with me. I'm very self-aware but there's something deeper I'm missing. Something big is about to happen. The things I experience aren't normal. Aside from the fact that I practice hoodoo and am very spiritual, spiritual stuff happens every day, and I give readings as a form of income. I guess this journal is kind of my last resort before I admit myself into therapy or a psych ward. The best way I can explain it is that I have different personalities? It's always me and someone else controlling me for the day. Unless you want to include my conscience, then me, my conscience, and that other being. And they're very different from who I am. It could be D.I.D or some other mental thing, but my higher beings say otherwise. These "personalities" have been here since I was little. I remember telling Grandma Odie about them and she replied, "Your name is Vidente Laveau for a reason." Whatever that meant. She was the only person I couldn't read. The book I couldn't understand and comprehend. Everyone else is predictable.

Lately, I have been dreaming of this woman though. She has red locks, is 5'4, from New Jersey, hella piercings, and tattoos littered all over her body. That's definitely a huge sign. She's recurring. Almost every night she visits me. I haven't met or seen anyone like her though. Time will tell. But I'm done avoiding this. I can't anymore. What is wrong with me? Are they just personalities or something else? And who is this person in my dreams?
