        For me it was a strange and unintended cocktail of the lowest point of a depression (crisis state and constant dissociation), quitting an addiction and reading a book and declaring it was my new existential guideline. It was a philosophy book. Spinoza’s ethics.

        Recipies may vary to suit different tastes.

    And then you melt down because you’re very, very, very sorry and you know it’s not a big deal but your brain is making you grovel and beg for forgiveness and you’re sorry for acting like this and it’s weirding everyone out and now you’re sorry about that too, and now all your friends have run away and you’re alone and sorry you made them run away.
