Twice I’ve completely lost myself; when I ran away to Mongolia and when I did my months of solitary confinement.
Which is funny, because in the first scenario I could go anywhere, Mongolia is so open and expansive I could just travel for days, but in solitary I couldn’t go anywhere. Complete opposites that issued the same “turn your brain off and just survive” response.
It’s true you never come back, but I think that “mid-life death” can be a powerful tool. I’m /nothing/ like who I was before Mongolia, and absolutely a different person after prison.
But I think I’m for the better now, picked up a few nasty elements to my edge, but I’d rather be working to fix things I know are wrong then to blindly be a menace.
I’m not saying DNM is a bad guy, but I think he needs to kick a few addictions and comforts, going blank might help that.
What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever done?
