I will be called a madman because we do not understand what is happening.

Sometimes you get really far out on the tree limb and you aren't sure if it is going to support your weight.  I've been doing a lot of that for the past two years more out of necessity than anything else.  It was either take some chances or wither to death slowly in the life I was leading.  If I am crazy, I'd rather be honest about what is in my heart than cover it up with some fabrication:

I have enormous scary thoughts that threaten to swallow myself and others.

I see people as minefields and make it my job to see through them because I have trust and control issues and am very easily damaged by the wayward words of others.  

I'm afraid of large crowds because it is easy for me to lose my sense of self and therefore lose control of the beast I call "me".

I usually don't do this sort of thing...

I usually don't link to such viral videos, but I actually stopped and watched this one and it moved me to tears.  He is such an eloquent speaker for a nineteen year old.  I didn't realize that I had been waiting to hear these words 'from the horse's mouth as it were.  I watched it three times and found myself crying.  Please take a look.
