I used to see people pretty clearly, and I thought they were mostly made of bullshit. I literally thought their egos were bigger than they were. I also thought Bill Clinton was an obvious sleazebag, just by the way he talked, and couldn't believe nobody else saw it. I also thought the lead singer of Duran Duran was evil just because of the way he sang, and I'm still not sure why. I guess it was personal wounds, desires and biases mixed in with my acute and extremely pure perception. But either way, I don't have any of that perception now. I can't relate to having thought any of those things I said above now. I think part of the reason why may be because I spent a few years trying to put myself into other, normal people's minds to better understand them, because I thought I had to act more like them to get by in this world. I think just the act of trying to put myself in their minds made me more like them and hence more normal and crappy.
