Last night, as I have so many futile times before, I believed that I had found my escape. I was producing my magnum opus. I lay with my face to the cold bathroom floor, dark spots growing in my vision all the time. I must have passed out. The nurses woke me. They were worried. They didn't understand how happy I had been when I believed that I was leaving. Such a soaring, swelling feeling. They assumed that I was depressed. I've been depressed in the past, and I know that I am not depressed now. I am living in heaven, with my wings in a straitjacket. I am so happy and so frustrated. I am so happy but I cannot express myself. I was working on my magnum opus last night. The nurses woke me, and I'm back on one to one observation. They don't understand that I was not acting out of despair. I tried to explain to them. Have you heard of "horseshoe theory"? For example, Hitler was a very extreme socialist, but he looked just like a fascist. Horseshoe theory. When I hit the extremes of insight, I realize, it looks like madness. They didn't take me seriously.
I am so frustrated and so irritable and so unquiet. I want my serenity back.

Hmmm ... seems to me like you need to stick around because you've definitely got something the world needs to know about. No leaving until we understand okay?

I'm glad you woke up okay, unlike my friend who woke up to being on dialysis three times a week and not able to walk due to nerve damage. I could be worse. I hope you stay safe.
