yesterday i said:
i think i'm saner than most people in this world. & that's why i'm so crazy. because most people act like the world we live in makes sense, & it doesn't.
i've always been intrigued by the notion of craziness, most likely b/c at an early age i realized how much sense people don't make.
being sane amidst insanity makes you look...crazy.
so i felt like crazy was something i needed to be: different. angry. critical. questioning. confrontational. direct. blunt. explicit. honest. authentic. definitively outside the norm.
depression, however, is an entirely different animal than 'crazy'.
i have wondered where it comes from. people say biology. or my upbringing. i can't really call it & say that it's necessarily either one, or even both...
race,
bias,
therapy,
depression,
counseling,
