i don't say this lightly... if i've ever met a genius, there he is. it helped to see... that interaction. he's so very strong in a lot of ways. disciplined. socially skilled. kind. but there is of course a fragility.
i do wonder if everyone has the same thing underneath it all. i don't see what good comes of it. i guess people are like onions. what good comes of peeling back all those layers of defenses to discover... that. that god awful feeling. what good comes of it? is it about our realizing that we are just a bundle of defenses or something like that so why not (more) rationally choose them rather than just... living them out. or whatever.
but then i guess my feeling comes from freeze / startle. and not everybodies does... yours can be different. i don't mind. everybody has something. it is what makes us human, i guess. i feel... sad. i wish i was in hospital. i just want to curl up. and for people to be like 'its okay, you just curl up there for however long you need'. and in probably a month or something... i'll be sick of it and wanting to go out and live my life. and... i would have got a nice chunk of work done.
people reckon i'm institutionalised. i guess i am. people say it like it is a bad thing.
i wonder... i wonder why jail has never really had any appeal to me?
