How do you "find yourself"? What are your ways of being content with who you are?

Ohhai. I've always loved emo culture all my life because of how it feels like we're all trying to express how we all really feel in the few, truest ways we know how. Whether it be listening to our favorite bands, finding stylish and awesome fashion and makeup that speaks volumes and does the talking for us, or creative writing whether it's poetry or ocs to put our imagination, emotions, and thoughts on paper... it's all so relatable.

I've had an identity disorder since my early teens as far as I was aware at the time, and it feels like it looms around me everywhere I go. Inner voices, alters, out-of-body experiences, delusions, I often scare myself in who I really am, or where I fit in this world.

The past two years, I've been progressing in discovering myself and going back to my roots on what makes me happy with my identity (emo culture), and it's been the most fun I've had. I learned how to apply makeup like primer, foundation, eyeshadow, and eyeliner effectively, annnnd some of the clothes and boots I found were the coolest finds I ever got!! I recently got black hair as well with the fringe and style I want, and looking towards piercings too!!

I guess my overall question to you is... How do you guys ever feel "whole"? In the sense that, do you have moments where you feel like you're happy in your own skin? Is there stuff that helps with that? I felt like delving into emo culture and identifying with it again made me feel that way on a whole new level, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on anything else that could maybe help?

Be kind to yourself and others. <3
