I love when I read other blogs and see language that captures the various ways we talk about ourselves, often using words that indicate different personas or characters. Here are three separate excerpts from three different bloggers that do just that.
BLOG: Confessions of an Irish Procrastinator ~ “The musings of an Irish hopeful”
Post: “Old Friends”
“Late last night, me and the Voice who lives in my head were just settling down for the night and who should rap the door but my good old pal Insomnia?!”
BLOG: I Wanna Be a Lady ~ “On a journey to inspire women”
Post: “Must be a Dead Body in There”
“‘Damn, I feel like you’re going to destroy this car.
‘ Excuse me? What’s that supposed to mean, huh? This is my ego talking.'”
BLOG: The Finer Details ~ “Little details. Little thoughts. Big dreams”
Post: “Tidy house, Tidy Mind”
“I’m sure I still take my mum by surprise when I ask her tips on how best to get a shiny oven or when I excitedly show her any new storage ideas I’ve found or installed in the house. I think I’m still trying to get used to this person myself sometimes…”
Great finds!

It’s really interesting to catch them, now that I’m tuned into it. It’s like when I learn a new word and suddenly it pops up everywhere!

Thanks for your feedback. I’m finding it interesting to see how frequently people describe things in ways that align with what I’m exploring. It’s nice to know it resonated for you!
