Wait, Who Am I Here?
Part two: I am the morally injured
So, THREE years ago I didn’t know who I was, and I wrote a ridiculous piece of traumatized hash trying to explain what it feels like to be completely dissociated from oneself to other people who might not be so dissociate.
Might as well record all of human experience, even the weird stuff of depersonalization.
And I’ve made almost no progress in three years, despite the support of friends and a little LSD and a little MDMA and finding a new place to live and somehow managing to save my cats in the process.
At least I saved the cats.
But I am no longer a person. The best I can do is be a bunch of different, contradictory people, so, that’s what I will do now. I will be a fragment, or rather, a lot of fragments. “Call me legion, for I am many.” And, thank you Mary Shelley, I am also dead and yet somehow walking around like the undead or the wrongly resuscitated, or as if a narcissist zombie really did eat my brain.
