sense and sensitivity
| <<-- : 02.06.03 : -->> |

11:06 a.m.

for some reason today, i've been really sensitive in reacting to discussions and visuals regarding bodily harm. on my break downstairs, they were talking about appendixes exploding and finding someone dead in the shower after it had happend. i'm usually okay with hearing stories like that and dealing with it.

but today is different. i couldn't listen for some reason. i got all of a sudden antsy and i couldn't stand still, so i had to leave. why did that happen? i'm usally just mildy concerned and sympthatic, but it was almost as if i was empathetic and tried to imagine if that was me. it was horrible, it hurt so bad. i couldn't take it.

the above picture was just sent to me in an email. i didn't even read the email, i just checked out the picture first to see if it was something i'd want to read about. but i was extremely grossed out. why? i'm not that sensitive. i think it has much to do with my residual post-E depression.

i put the picture in a new window, so you don't have to look at it if you don't want to. but curiosity will most likely lead you to a quick glance. and as a fair warning, it's pretty graphic, even for my tastes. but because this message is below the link, i'm sure you've seen it already. and you're probably thinking, 'what the hell is he talking about? that's nothing!' and i'm like- shaddup. go to hell. well... not really, but maybe.
