You're all of it.

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ― Carl Gustav Jung

The privilege of a lifetime is indeed to integrate all of yourself. It's a grand task, isn't it? It is like trying to herd cats, but the cats are your various personality traits.

Imagine your inner child, your responsible adult, and your mischievous teenager all sitting at a dinner table—quite the family reunion. The child wants ice cream for dinner. The adult insists on vegetables. The teenager just rolls their eyes.

Integration is not about silencing these voices. It's about inviting them all to the party—yes, even that awkward phase from high school—especially that!

We often try to hide parts of ourselves. "Oh, that's not the real me," we say. It's as if we're all secret agents with cover identities. Spoiler alert: there is no "real" you hiding behind a mask. You're all of it.

Integration is not about perfection. It's about authenticity, like a pizza with pineapple – controversial but unapologetically itself.

Remember, you're not assembling IKEA furniture here. There's no "correct" way to put yourself together, and the instructions are in a language only you can understand.

So, embrace your quirks, cherish your contradictions, and occasionally let your inner child have ice cream for dinner. Let the adult choose the flavour, and the teenager can pick the toppings.

In the end, the privilege is not just in becoming who you are. It's in the journey of discovery, like an explorer in the jungle of your psyche.

Watch out for the emotional quicksand. And if you ever feel lost on this journey, remember: GPS sometimes tells you to turn right into a lake.
