I find a lot of this in my own cast of characters. Not quite to this level of internalization but I'm in every one of my characters. I'm using the descent to the goddess model for my current fantasy series, which revolves around integration with the shadow. In my science fiction serial, I have a crew that aligns with your old man, protector, child trinity but with some variation on the roles.
It is such a unique journey with each character coming to life—an exhilerating moment when they begin to speak their own sentences… This one is turned out this way because I intend to find all things that made her from myself (for consistency along three books of narrative)—that leads me shift perspective and observe, anchored in present to a different eventful journey of another book…
Wow, Caner, this essay is nothing short of profound. Your journey from the depths of inner turmoil and self-criticism to discovering your Inner Family is incredibly inspiring. I love how you’ve candidly shared your struggles with perfectionism, depression, and the inner tyrant, showing the raw reality before any breakthrough.
The way you bring your past self, your fraternal twin Alina, and your inner child together to form a holistic inner family is truly remarkable...it’s both creative and deeply transformative. I’m especially moved by how you’ve turned what began as character design into a practice of self-love, integration, and inner sovereignty. The concepts of The Unshaken Path and The SIMPLE Way provide a clear philosophical and practical framework, yet your personal narrative makes it relatable and heartfelt. Your story doesn’t just inspire...it offers a roadmap for anyone seeking wholeness, self-compassion, and true inner strength. Thank you for sharing such a brave and illuminating journey.
On a similar theme, I’ll be sharing my own piece this coming Monday evening...please make sure to check it out!
Thank you for reading and understanding from descent to intention of becoming something more. I loved how you describe it in every dimensions… And yes, SIMPLE Way is a promising framework and it requires something more than willpower… Self-love, self-compassion, internal validation, radical honesty and acceptance… I learned them —when I trying to escape to low resistent side of my life— in a unconvetional way and serendipitous eventful journey… Thank you for this comprehensive feedback it felt so rewarding and I am looking for your work coming up and after…
I am so excited and looking for it too… and I love to read your comments, too… I am so happy to know that you loved them… And this one maybe one of the hardest to get it out… Looking from here now, I am in gratitude to pass through that storm…
It reminded me that quote of Haruki Murakami—which I always loved:
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.“
I can see this one being difficult to write. Your bravery sharing this almost makes me want to start sharing some of my journey over here. Almost. I’m still kind of nervous. I’m glad you’re on the other side and have found so much inner wholeness and growth through your process :)
