Caveat: 64,000 people didn’t make a wrong turn and drown. The number in water is small but not insignificant. It’s the metaphor of the thing.

And it ties together. Because you can’t ever really leave yourself, you can only bury it.
And bury yourself with it.

And that’s the metaphor on my mind these days.

thoughts. For this next bit you need to know that they have found SO MANY people who ‘disappeared’ at the bottom of bodies of water. Lakes, canals, rivers, etc. people who seemingly disappeared actually…didn’t.

However, since the advent of very good water scanning technology I have other thoughts.

They make a conscious choice, leave everything and dip. I’m talking about non-drug users, most not in mental crisis, but make a “rational” decision to walk away. It sounds…amazing and lonely and traumatic and freeing.
I once heard the number at 64,000/year.

What?!? I swear I’m gonna brain you.

Aww mama misses you. <3

I love this
