Looking For Crazy

A craving that I am feeling

I have done some crazy things in my life. Some of those things I really can’t share and some of them I have already shared. Spontaneously doing something that is so outrageously crazy can be so empowering and liberating and enlightening and joyful. I have almost always been truly glad that I did the crazy things that I have done. To me, the difference between crazy and stupid is that stupid is usually followed by regret while crazy is not.

Spontaneously doing something utterly bat shit crazy can be so liberating! It can push us beyond our self-imposed mental barriers. It can illuminate hidden parts of our selves. It can tweak our perspectives like nothing else. It can pull us out of ruts, reveal hidden opportunities, distract our attention away from what we are obsessively stressing over, drastically change our attitudes, push us beyond our fears, and it can even improve our physical health.

Like I said, I have done a lot of truly crazy things in my life but I do not want to talk about that. It is all in the past. Instead I am hereby lamenting the fact that I have not done anything really crazy in a long time. It has been around five years since I last did something truly crazy. That is way too long. I really, really need to do something crazy. I am withering. I am in a rut. I desperately crave crazy.
