A psychotic break is a (layman) term used to describe the first time
it was not bad by any means.
i did not shirk responsibilities nor as i irresponsible (if you dont count the money i certainly should not have spent for which i have nothing to show for it but said sabbatical).
it felt amazing.
i ran off in my car and ventured with loved ones to feel love.
i sought after that high of being around those that have a strong connection with you.
it was quite the high. a 4 day high i continued to seek once i returned.
i would sit in a coffee shop with my laptop and a perfect cup of coffee in recycled cups made from baristas with bandanas and dreadlocks and just soak it all in. it felt tantric, like i was making love those those other seekers who yearned and burned for the same contact and spiritual lovemaking that i sought after.
i can tell you with 100% confidence that at no time during this period was i high on any substance. i did drink one of those nights which led to an amazing time with a stranger in a cab (not sexually, but that is another story best left for a time you arent already judging me :] )
i felt strong and invincible.
life before this did not apply to me.
i didnt think of my family or my troubles.
i escaped to my own inner sanctuary.
it was amazing. liberating. freeing and defining.
i was amazed. liberated. freed and defined.
it was so epiccaly beautiful.
i think EVERYONE needs a sabbatical.
just go. disappear.
turn off your phone.
log out of your email.
stop updating facebook for the love of god.
no instant messaging.
no voicemail.
be around those only cognitive to your development.
feel something real. feel something NEW.
to just experience something.
its quite powerful.
my goal is to now have my life be a mini psychotic break daily.
there isnt a good clear way to end this with a solid conclusion. so im just gonna go at it.
this is what it reminds me of:
Rumspringa (also Rumschpringe or Rumshpringa, derived from the Pennsylvania German term for "running around")[1] generally refers to a period of adolescence for some members of theAmish, a subsect of the Anabaptist Christian movement, that begins around the age of sixteen and ends when a youth chooses baptism within the Amish church or instead leaves the community.
this is what i had. a Rumspringa.
i came back having decided my life was going to be different.
why live life for just one when you can live it for all?
id like to say it is the age old question, but ive yet to hear it be asked.
