Favorite Quote:
If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I&#039;m neurotic as hell. I&#039;ll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.<br /> - Sylvia Plath

Manic.
Drugs.
What can I take?
What can’t I take?
What will make me go fast faster fastest slower slow slowest stop?
Connections, phantom meanings to every phrase.
Completely imagined, yet truthful in their own right.
And all those thoughts,
a cyclone in my head
“There’s no place like home”,
she said.
Everything comes alive.
Is it that I am insane, or at my sanest?
