I got inspired when I watched Secret Window, so I decided to write a post about it. I got kind of a Fight Club feel from it, and I realized that these scenarios are not all that far-fetched in real life. I work with children and people every day whose own perceived reality is far from the actual truth. They think one thing when the total opposite is actually true.
The same happens to everybody, just to a lesser degree. For instance, I will say something to someone, and then when they try to remind me of it, I will almost swear I never said it. There are times when I don't remember doing things that other people say I did.... sometimes I'll read old journal entries, stories, or letters...... and I'll not remember ever writing it, but it's MY handwriting. It's like we're all two different people. Shit like this happens everyday to everyone.
Isn't it a little scary that when you were really tired, you went four hours without remembering a thing you did? Isn't it a bit unnerving that you drove that hour stretch down the road and spaced out? Aren't you a bit worried about what you're doing when you're sleeping more than usual?
Maybe we're all a bit crazy. Maybe we're all really crazy. And maybe none of us will ever know. But don't blame me when I show up to your house with a glazed look in my eye, wearing a weird hat and carrying a pitchfork. It's not my fault I'm insane ;)
