Solitary Confinement
Oct. 3rd, 2010 12:59 amI've seen a lot of artwork by chance on the subject of solitary confinement.
I've always had the feeling that I wouldn't do too bad in Solitary. I don't really have much crazy left to go, to be honest. I spent a lot of my formative years alone with few friends so I learned to be pretty self-sufficient and live inside my head.
That's probably the reason I can't communicate with anyone now in my adult life, but that's another story.
I think that, as long as I was allowed to talk to myself, I could keep going for quite a while in Solitary. I've got enough people in my head to last me a while and they all have long stories for me to talk myself through (or act through, for that matter).
I wonder if I'd end up being lonely, or not.
Maybe that's the defining factor on if you're insane or not - when the voices in your head start becoming enough to sustain you.
