am i normal? i have these voices in my head. they’re like people except they feel real. now wait... before you go on thinking im crazy hear me out. i know i sound crazy but everything i’m feeling feels so real. 

i have these two characters in my head. i can tell them apart whenever one character acts out or starts speaking. let’s call them sara and raven. they’re different ages, different personalities but they are part of me that makes me the way i am. sara and raven only come out and only talk to me when something traumatic happens to me. i was always a kid who kept to myself. never really had friends and always resorted to talking to myself as full blown conversations. now i have these two people that talk to me and give me advice whenever something traumatic happens. 

sara is more of  the inner child in me. She has no exact age but is around the age of 5-11. a lot of anger stemming from sara is because of my child neglect and trauma. she’s very angry and protective over me and can’t let go of what happened in the past. 

raven is 17 year old me going into women hood. she’s very strong and such a badass and the she is the reason why i’d ever put myself out there. “stop being such a pussy and go out and do what you need to do” is something raven would say. 
when i talk to these characters i can imagine how they look and i talk aloud to them and they talk aloud to me.

sara is the mother figure I never had. The mother figure I always wanted. She tells me the truth on things that i don’t want to face. She helps me put my foot down and stand strong on decisions. She hurts my feelings at times, telling me things I know I wouldn’t love hearing. Whenever I’m in denial she helps me face the truth and get over it. sara is more of the mean bossy one but she’s very helpful in times of need because I know i am not that strong myself. i have mommy issues…

i can imagine how sara and raven look. they talk to me out loud and i speak to them back in conversations. in public i speak to them in my head.
