"There is much evidence to show that for anyone who passes through the barrier of lonliness, the sense of individual isolation bursts, almost by dint of its own intensity, into the 'all-feeling' identity with the universe. One may pooh-pooh this idea as 'nature mysticism' or 'pantheism,' but it should be obvious that a feeling of this kind corresponds better with a universe of mutually interdependent processes and relations than with a universe of distinct, blocklike entities."
Nature, Man and Woman by Alan Watts

When I was younger I wanted to be a superhero. I don't think that feeling ever went away. I keep thinking about how much I want to do, to help where I can. "The Girl" told me that I'm one of those people who runs towards the fire while most run away from it. When I think of her saying things like that it makes me miss her even more. I'm coming up with fewer and fewer reasons to stay in Indiana. I'm in a funk right now and all I really want is not to be a waste of space.
