As a whole, I think I'm a fairly complicated person. All the puzzles pieces I've detailed are just that, pieces. Neither one sums me up, but they all click together to form me. Some I've discovered along the way to who I am now. Others have been here as long as I can remember. But they all matter, and they all are essential. Even the really messy parts are necesary. One of the hardest challenges I've faced is accepting the things about me I don't necesarily like, or things that only seem to drag me down. But I believe without these things, I wouldn't have the coping skills I have today. I wouldn't have the recilience that I've adopted after years of internal struggle. All in all, I feel pretty good about myself and all my individual parts.
