CURRENT TOPIC: What is your favorite retreat from the world?
Living in a world like this, you kind of need a retreat. Things are beyond hectic; they’re terrifying. It’s always been that way; full of more than uncertainties – more like insanities.
They say I’m emotionally unstable. Sometimes I hate that about myself, how I need pills every day to keep myself from going off the deep end, how everyone looks at me like I’m a total nut job, like I’ll burn their house down or slaughter their pet puppy. Other times I think it’s a blessing in disguise.
Not that I like to be crazy.
Its rather the idea that my retreat from the world is inside my own head. Whenever society fills me with dread, when I fear waking up in the morning, I can escape inside myself. Of course its strange to wake up in the morning with torn clothes in the middle of a road, but, that’s not the sort of thing I mean.
I mean, the world is so crazy, so full of stupid shit and stupid people that’s sometime I’m glad to be crazy. Then at least I have an excuse. Then I have somewhere to go when I look back and think, “what the fuck is the world coming to?”
