Believe it or not , I actually do.
In the character and worldbuilding I gave to myself , I have personas that symbolically and literally control my mind. They are responsible for my emotions , and all my functions in the nervous system. ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧
I think this question relates to Child Maia the most. Shes my inner child , and represents a fossilized version of my childhood that’s no longer around. She means a lot to me , and by extension , I recognize that I too will be fossilized in my memories as the inner teen. In a way , it’s similar to grieving a loved one , but it instead being over a part of you or a phase you experience. (꒪̥̥﹏꒪̥̥ )
I’m not sure how others would perceive me in their heads , but I’d like to think whatever memory they have of me would dictate that core aspect of myself. It’s really comforting to me if I were to be some kind of positive impact on someone that they would have some kind of symbolic or even spiritual version of me

Sorry if I’m pointlessly yapping , but this was something I found really interesting and wanted to talk about since I use analytical psychology when writing my stories. ʚ🩷ɞ
In summary , this question absolutely fucked me up LMAO
do you ever think about dead versions of yourself that are fossilized in someone else's mind
