Have you ever... [disturbing]
Oct. 1st, 2015 01:33 pm A few of the sites I visit have daily (or weekly) lists of things to read. Political, personal, about the world or a place or an incident, so I'm used to following links and reading about stuff I would never have looked for on my own. The article interviewing people who have or have had sugar daddies was interesting as was the one about tampons. The one on being the parents of autistic kids was sad and inspiring. The one about the murder house, I never finished.
Lots of them I don't finish, either because they hurt too much to read, not as interesting as I though, too weird, or I just didn't want to know. But sometimes I click on something I shouldn't have or I read too far and then I can't stop. I knew better than to click on the one about being a human trafficker or the one about poop or any of the ones that the little blurb upsets me with the injustice of it all, but the other day I made the mistake of clicking a link from a book review podcast.
( cut )
The article haunted me and I couldn't sleep that night. I kept trying to make something like that palatable. Could it ever be right? My brain wanted the answer and it wouldn't shut off until I'd fulfilled my obligation to it. I can't remember what I came up with (I don't what to think too hard in case I do remember).
But does this happen to anyone else? Does your mind try to "fix" and reality that's just to horrible to be real? This is the second time in as many weeks that this has happened, but the first time it only took an hour or so to clear the pipes.
