That all makes a lot of sense- you're pretty good at explaining things.
Makes me wonder if what we have going on with our selves functions similarly to threads in your headspace- taking loose pieces of what's already there and weaving them together into something larger, letting it unravel once the "tapestry" isn't needed. Under that metaphor, I think our headspace is our loose strands or at least adjacent to them, which is interesting. Water is our go-to metaphor, not threads, but similar idea. Might have to think about this more.
