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, gender, class
