Here's the thing about stimulants: the line between function and frenzy is drawn in the sand far out on the beach and, apparently, it's only a matter of time before the tide comes in. These chemicals have the uncanny characteristic of making everything just a bit more interesting. All objects become shinier, all people younger and better looking. And without them, suddenly- nothing holds the attention. One finds oneself suddenly, inexplicably, back in an ordinary world where everyone has to make their own fun. Worse than that, everybody has to devote large portions of their lives to the Profoundly Unfun and Drab.
Why would you ever consciously choose to live in the ordinary world?

Please be safe. I love you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. That means a lot, although I can't even pretend to promise I'll be safe. I do- for the first time in a long time- have a clear and (hopefully) achievable goal in sight. Just a couple more weeks.
