i'm becoming comfortable with the concept that i'm utterly insane
i look in the mirror, and i look insane
i'm okay with that
because i am utterly mad
i realize
i look like i am
i pass! i actually pass!
i didn't used to pass
but now i pass as i truly am
i am the madwoman of menotomy
you may think i look saner than i do
but i always pick out the pictures i look most sane in
i will no longer do that
i want a more accurate representation of me how i am

I've always thought that sanity/insanity is determined by societal norms. Who determines it? We are who we are. We should be allowed that, IMO. A lot of people in history were labelled "insane" by some, and "visionaries" by others. I'm thinking of people like Joan of Arc, Jesus Christ, Sylvia Plath, Edgar Allan Poe, Timothy Leary.

It's all so fucking relative. If you're insane, fine. I have grey eyes, and not everyone has them. *hugs* I don't know you well, at all, but I really think that I like you fine the way you are.

I find insane to be very... comfortable. :)

I look forward to more of your pics.

I've always thought you were insane.

I think you're the only one who's insane. Nobody else is insane.

That makes you strange.

Nobody is strange. You're strange. But nobody else is strange.

I'm certainly not strange.

I think you're weird. Weird people make funny faces when they sleep, like they're dreaming weirdo dreams.

I'm definitely not a weirdo.

Weird people scare me, because they aren't supposed to be like that.

If the weird people take over, I will be weird. Not because I'm *actually* weird, but because I am not weird, and if everyone else was weird and I were not weird, that would make me weird.

Wouldn't it?
