I'm the host of the body. My body is 36 (37 at the end of the month). for a 36 year old I'm not geared as a adult. I'm more at the other end of the scale. I have a great imagination that I never lost.

Starting with this....our body is 38. Our oldest insider is an adult male in his late 70's, early 80's, but he never fronts. He's more internal support. Until recent years the people who ran the system and fronted the most were usually 16 or 17. We, too, have a large percentage of under 18 peeps. probably 85% to 90% are under 18, and of those about 80% are 12 and under.

We have three kids who were pretty young when we first started learning about being multiple. So we got away with a lot of silliness just because we had kids and we could let it out around them (safely of course). some of our inside kids would play with our outside kids. some of our teens would bounce off the walls with them (they loved to put on music and just dance and try and get the kids to dance with them).

we have NEVER felt the age that our body is. ALWAYS felt years younger, even in junior high. we love to write and we've always had a pretty active imagination. We only let it show around people we feel safe around, and it's taken years for us to find people that just accept us.

I'm ShayRisa and I'm 24. I used to be 17. Nobody knows how the whole aging thing works with us. I certainly hadn't wanted or was trying to become older, but it happened and all we can figure is that I needed the maturity that I didn't have when I was 17. *shrug*

We don't have a "host". Never really have. Mostly we rotate who fronts at any given time. Some of us are better at "adult" things than others so we all let people deal with what they can.

you sound very much like a free spirit! I personally think it's wonderful that you can have that kind of imagination.

One of our kids wants to know if you like purple unicorns.

Hope to get to know you better. Hope this response wasn't too long.
