Downpour of Sanity

"My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession.” -Joaquin Phoenix

I wasn't always this confused. Everything comes at a price, you see. I used to be afraid of everything. I learned the solution for this was to analyze my fears. For example, object permanence tells us that stationary objects remain stationary regardless of whether we are watching them. Also knowing that solid matter cannot pass through solid matter, I could come to the conclusion that if no one was in my room when I closed and locked my door, there would be no one there when I slept and I could wake up safe and alone. I was quite the over-analytical 4-year-old, and I remain the same over-analytical 20-year-old.

They say it is our experiences and how we react to them that make us into the people we are. I disagree. Although we all have slightly different experiences and slightly different reaction, making us all different, I cannot truly believe we are different based soley on our experiences. I once believed that I was extraordinarily different from everyone, but did not truly understand why, considering my experiences had not been much different than those of many children today. Now, I see that people are not at all different from one another in the core of their being, only on the surface. People think they are different because no one exposes their core. I feel that this, my core, exposed, could change the world. Here it is. My naked core
