Can we stop and chat about the tullyelly alter ego for a hot minute? I don't really have a clear use on this one. I might also say the same on mark2, but in that case I think I know when to use it, I've just not tapped into that ego as much. Less about how much I use it, and more about the why I use it.

As for what chronicles have been tagged tullyelly that tag was HEAVILY used early on while I was still learning about these voices in my head. Since then though, it's kinda awkwardly sprinkled in when I don't know how to classify myself. I'd be interesting to back through to read the 93 tullyelly tagged posts so see what, if any, threads exist.

Before I do so though, I'd like to get around to the feature that would show you only the ReleaseSection content specific to any given tag (as opposed to just the entire post), but alas, as we say quite frequently around here: only so much time in the day. Only so much brain in the skull.

As I sit here by myself, I grab the headphones, pick up my phone, and hit play.

When I'm alone (at least when I'm not working), I rarely can sit with my own thoughts in peace. I have to have some rapper in my ear spitting dense rhymes at me, some woman singing to me and soothing my soul, or an NBA podcast there to drown out the noise upstairs. I can't bear myself, and then you also never know the magic of this word plus that word leading to more words. Better words. Better ideas.

All that to say that when I hit play today, the right song showed up at the right time. My two oldest linking up, at our house, in my safe space, to collaborate and solve each other problems.....is me. Me through them. A better me.
