Crazy

I learnt something about myself the other day.

I am crazy. I don't see this as a negative thing however. Let me explain my specific type of crazy.

I am a writer. I create people and tell stories about them. This in itself isn't crazy. In order to get these stories out, the characters in my head tell me what they are doing and sometimes why they are doing it. They all speak in different ways and they all have different motivations. In my mind, I have created a corridor, a bit like a hotel one, where they all have rooms of their own. I don't go in their rooms because that would be invasive and I respect their privacy. I recently had to extend the corridor to make room for my two new voices but hey, it's in my head, it can be as big as I like right?

I like to see these fictitious people as just a part of how I was made. I can't get rid of them and let's be honest, I don't think I want to. It might make me a bit weird, it might make me speak in a strange manner and walk a bit funny sometimes (one character has a bit of a swagger) but I like having my own brand of crazy.
