Recently, I took to perusing the pages of "The Cost of Discipleship," a book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (more on him inside), and have discovered many interesting truths that I agree with, and many beliefs of Bonhoeffer's that I happen to disagree with. I evaluated each chapter, and decided to  detail my thoughts in the coming pages of this compilation. Feel free to give it a read if you feel like it.

It took us a long time to understand that we are not one person. At first, we thought we had bipolar disorder with extremely minor manic episodes. We were often tired, tearful, than again better, even childishly euphoric.

The only behavior closest to one that could be included in the category of manic was that when we felt okay, we had more energy to study, so we spent more time in reading textbooks. However those times were not several hours of continuous work - which suggested it was not a symptom of an even very small mania. However, if not that... We struggled to figure out why we happened to feel so variously reacting to similar stimuli. For a long time we were afraid to consider that maybe something had happened in our early development and that we had never become one person, as everyone assumed. The time on the Internet helped us a lot. It was on YouTube that we saw a video, where one of the systems shared their experience. And among all the teasers that appeared on our screen, we decided to click that one and devote ourselves to acknowledging the content of this particular channel. We watched one video after another until we felt we understood the most important things that this System wanted to share. At first, we thought we were just curious and wanted to better understand and support other systems, but then a few months later one night we dared to consider that we had watched these videos for ourselves...

I have too many random thoughts so I'm just going to add a chapter to this every time I get one. This may be amusing, it may not. This is mainly for me to look back at and say "what was I thinking and how tired was I?" Let's see what I have by the end of 2021 BOOK 1 January 6th - July 9th TW: sensitive topics like suicide, alchohol, and verbal abuse
