It’s peculiar, how having an askew perception of things can distort your day to day interactions.
Even something considered innocuous and safe like listening to music, you have to be careful when you are so sensitive to words and feelings and all these things that come to life.
I spent about eight years being vigilant towards every stimulus, and believe me that’s exhausting in the...

I have a strange relationship with facial hair. If I grow a ‘stache I’ll get sick of it and shave; but if I shave it all off I’ll start growing it again very soon.
It’s this weird day/night, or on/off dynamic that seems to control most things in my life.
And it’s these things, while everyone seems to focus on the person I am, that...

When I was 21, I moved from my hostel for the homeless into my very own flat in a rundown part of town. There was a Jewish community just round the corner and the local McDonalds was the towns biggest attraction.

Don't you close that door! You don’t know doors like I know doors. One minute you close it the next it’s wide open.

A lesson but not for its own sake
I must learn in time
Where to draw the line

Day 2: still no sign of having evaporated. Would it help if I drank some water? Or would that increase my mass?
I’ve looked in a reputable science journal and it has stated that human beings are composed mainly of water, so maybe if I swallow a sponge it will absorb me.
The next logical step would be to wring the sponge out by doing...
