"The only way out is through. So, feel the fear and the pain. Let it all in and then let it all go." | "I grew up on white girl shit like "Charmed", and "Sabrina, the Teenage Cracker". I didn't know that there even were black witches. But as it turns out, I'm an heir to Tituba. She was a house slave in Salem. She was the first to be accused of witchcraft. So technically, I'm part of your tribe."
I am a millennial. Generation Y; born between the birth of AIDS and 9/11, give or take. They call us the global generation. We are known for our entitlement and narcissism. Some say it’s because we’re the first generation where every kid gets a trophy just for showing up. Others think it’s because social media allows us to post when we fart or have a sandwich for all the world to see. But it seems our one defining trait is a numbness to the world. An indifference to suffering. I would give everything I have or will ever have just to feel pain again; to hurt. And that’s the rub of all this, isn’t it? I can’t feel shit. I can’t feel anything. We think that pain is the worst feeling. It isn’t. How could anything be worse than this eternal silence inside of me. I can’t take it anymore. I think I’m going batshit. I need to do something.
