. On the first read, I didn’t quite get the gist for your write-up. After getting it all compiled into a word document, I went through it again. My impressions to your write-up went to its peak when you stated you are/were a student of psychology. I am not at all related to psychology. I mean, I have philosophies, but I don’t even dare share them unless that necessary. [Or am I doing that right now] . I relate myself to the traumatic ppl on the write-up. Chris, Melvina or Rita .. They had traumatic experiences in their life, which are making them weak and ‘depleting’ them this time and further. I believe, every one of us have this ability to get insane, traumatic. At one point in a time, you feel you are so neglected/ deprived of something, and most of the times it’s the case when you are on a pursuit of happiness. We go on searching for happiness, when Happiness itself is the answer. NOT the search! Happiness – as the name is , comes in many forms and that’s just the other part of the discussion. Realization! When do you realize this? As of me, I had strictly defined myself into having this attitude problem, where I believed humanity is just so f(cking. Not the reason of me actually being a misanthropist: but because I was acting cool, you know. A little more adds up to it for my inclination to heavy metal. My friends know me as one person who admires almost anything that comes to my way! My appearance looked as though, I was the idiot not living life the “gentle” way. Every of my actions would turn into being “abnormal.” But I knew deep down, I am again acting cool. Now, I have come strong into my philosophies as such that, I can talk to a PRIEST about my GOD. He finds it hard to convince me with leading me to believe in his GOD. Now, I act normal, but I don’t get awkward on expressing that I get traumatic now n then. And when I do, I say clear: see.. I have this disorder. And, you needn’t worry.. I realize this! I don’t suffer from insanity, rather I enjoy it. As from your definition of traumas and abnormality.. I take back myself being insane and abnormal. I am perfectly OKAY. Truly speaking, I have never had acquaintance with ppl who are really traumatic and insane and moreover the way you presented it aids up in believing that there really are people who should be taken extreme care of, and there are facades like me, who know how to take care of himself. ;) On a little side note, I being insane was just that I had priorities set up in my life which I found out, would be acknowledged after a little wait. A little bit of patience and endurance is all I need! : ) Your write-up has so much substance in it! Thanks for bringing it out!!!
