If anything, my willingness to be vulnerable makes me stronger. My newfound ability to live in the moment, rather than in perpetual, agitated anticipation — and dread at maybe having to put a bullet into someone — gives me more joy.

"Living in the moment" is a characteristic of infants and most animal species like dogs and cats. In psychology class I was taught that the ability to contemplate the self, the past, the present, and the future, was one of the things that distinguished humans from animals.

When this happens to an adult human, it is sometimes called "regression".

Hey, I just noticed this.

Quote 1: "But though guns were a staple of my life, I was put off by almost anything else "Texan." I worked in a store selling stilettos to drag queens. Rather than rodeos, I went to rockabilly shows. You wouldn't catch me dead wearing cowboy boots; I was all about Doc Martens. Barbecue repulsed me, and wide-open spaces made me wonder where the shops were. "

Quote 2: "On one of my first trips back to the Lone Star State,...... ..... Though I desperately missed the big Texas sky, the sweet smell after a storm, and even the barbecued brisket, the rest of the state started to feel like a lawless theme park with SUVs, stadium-size churches, and billboards advertising upcoming gun shows and reminding parents that "children under 12 are admitted free!" "

So which is it? Do wide open spaces make her wonder where the shops are, or does she "desperately" miss the big Texas sky? Does barbecued brisket "repulse" her, or does she miss the "sweet smell"?

I think this woman is a total fraud. She probably smokes dope, which explains why when she was writing the end of her piece, she couldn't remember what she had written in the middle.

I happend upon this article. Disappointing to say the least.

What a moron.

Mentally, this woman is an infant. I would call it a bad case of regression. I guess being an adult was too much for her.
