Not to me. They are interchangeable in my mind. You can never truly get rid of a part of yourself, so "deletion" to me is a bit different than the real definition, Ves.

Eh. It's functionally the same.

Although I'm beginning to wonder what's meant by locking part of yourself away. I'm not sure psychology works that way. >_>

If it does, I'll need to find what part of me likes to procrastinate and beat it into submission. :3

Anyway, it is a way to describe what I cannot otherwise describe.

that part of me is in action at this very moment. I'm still only on the second paragraph of that essay I mentioned earlier.

my ADHD keeps my inner child alive, and my Ritalin puts it in a cage. unfortunately, it lost the key and my inner child escapes often.

I've never done this willfully, really. There are certain parts of you that do eventually disappear, though, For example, ones use of smilies in text. My posts used to be unreadable before I came here thanks to a saturation of redundant smilies. But that's a bit more superficial than what you guys are probably saying.

Yeah, I think "metaphor" is the right term. I also think I understand what you mean, now.

If we're talking about the phrase "locking away part of yourself", I suppose it could be a metaphor by a stretch, considering it implies that parts of yourself are a physical object that can be locked behind a door. I dunno... I'm too tired to classify figurative language right now.

Well, I suppose it could be an analogy. But we'll stick with "metaphor" for now, I guess.

Well it is an odd thing to suddemly say, Sonic.

Hey, dad! A bunch of almost strangers I know on the internet want to say Happy Birthday to you! It is kind of creepy.

Go glomp him. That should smooth everything over. :lol:

Happy Birthday to your dad!
