Psychothic Nation

What's so Psychotic?

Have you ever feel like you have always been "the eternal freak"? Well, I'm a 25 year old Chilean woman, and, as most of people would, I feel like I don't fit anywhere around here. One day, walking down the street, (I was on my way for signing on the electoral service... yes, I decided to be "a citizen"), I looked around and I saw a bunch of peolple, walking on the street, coming from "everywhere", going "no-where", and vice/versa, expending all their energy on their everyday life stuff, whatever it means, without noticing anything else but themselves, non caring for anyone else also... then I thought: Do I belong here? well, I don't think so, (sub-thought: Should I move to another country? should it make any difference? -I don't think so either), then- I thought- I should live on my own nation... ok, but that nation does not exists, that is completely out of reality, then that's kind of a psychosis...ok, so be it, let's create a Psychothic Nation, besides, it sounds kind of cool, innit? ok, so now that we are here, I invite you to be part of this nation, to be a "citizen", a psycho-citizen. Who knows if we can do better than our governors out there!

Psychotic Nation...

I wrote this thing about the Psychotic Nation several months ago (the introduction to this Blog)... today I read it again, and it meant a completely different thing to me. I've been through a lot of new/cool experiences during the last months, and no matter if I was giving a talk in a conference, playing on a band, losing a lot of money because a bad decision of a friend, wondering around New York, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Portland or Seattle... I was always the same person. I knew who I was... Someone upthere taught me what I meant for Him, so it wasn't about my activities or environments anymore but about being yourself, finding your own balance... no matter if you are rich or poor, loved or hated, welcome or rejected... you know where you are standing on... and that place never changes, and that is my nation.

Thanks for your comment. Finding that balance is so important. Being happy with who you are inside is the most important thing someone can learn. Events, people, and settings change, but who a person is inside should stay the same.
