I’ve always had a morbid fascination with little dead things.
I remember, as a 10-year-old, passing a dead squirrel on my way to school and then repeatedly stopping to see its stomach fill with maggots. As a teen, I took a number of pictures of a bloated raccoon corpse, focusing on the intestines hanging out. I discarded these images, apparently revolted by my own revolting fascination.I carry on today, stopping to capture the little corpses left to the side.
What’s wrong with you is that you were raised in a Conservative household that encouraged you to excel at your studies at the school at the ‘end’ of University Ave, and to go on to a prestigious school like Queens at Kingston and to (sure) get your Honors BA – and then go on to the U of T’s law or Business schools,.. You are now fortunate to have the time and support to follow your true interest. – Take it! Do it! Trust yourself! There is nothing wrong with you now and there was nothing wrong with you then.
I feel better now! Thanks.
That squirrel looks so peaceful…sure it’s not just napping? 😉
