Anais Nin: You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.

Want to know why this shit is making me mad? Because there just seems like a whole laundry list of things that seem to be keeping people like me from making it out or rise above our current situations. And people want to know why I want to move out of Detroit. This is one of 456 reasons...
Did you manage to peep the fact that two counties of SE Michigan were listed? On the other hand I guess it's not as bad as California. But it's still pretty damned bad from where I'm sitting....
Lord, please help me...
