Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.

Friedrich Nietzsche, from Selected Letters (via violentwavesofemotion) —

April 27. Incapable of living with people, of speaking. Complete immersion in myself, thinking of myself. Apathetic, witless, fearful. I have nothing to say to anyone - never.

Few people who don’t actually have OCD understand anything about it.  They trivialize it, turn it into something cute, all the while not realizing that those of us who do suffer from it would give absolutely anything to not have it.  OCD is a life-ruiner.  It is not something that kicks in or is “your inner OCD”—you feel it every moment of every day, staining everything you do with fear.  Someone who has OCD (not is OCD, we are not our illnesss), may spend hours cleaning their kitchen, not because they like cleanliness, but because they are legitimately terrified that the germs will kill themselves or their family.  They don’t arrange shoes for the fun of it, but because they’ll have an actual breakdown/panic attack if they don’t, because it doesn’t “feel right” or they’re afraid something terrible will happen.  They might be afraid that they are secretly a killer, every day feeling guilt for crimes they didn’t commit.  It is nonsensical and pointless, but it feels completely real and it is horrible.

I don’t know how to get an entire populace to understand that OCD is not a joke disorder, and that it’s completely different from what they think it is.  But I ask you to be part of the battle, to educate and correct people who mock an illness that can take lives.

Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.

People try to tell me that Superman is simple and naive. They try to suggest to me that Batman’s more psychologically complex stories are where adults REALLY gravitate. And in many cases, they do.

But I actually do think that Batman represents a certain type of naievete. Batman is about trying to CONTROL your environment. He believes that he can STOP bad things from happening. He is forever an 8 year old boy, holding his dying parents in his arms and thinking he can stop this from ever happening again. Batman hopes to eliminate criminals from his world entirely. With his fists.

Superman, for me, has an acceptance that bad things WILL always happen. In many versions, he comes to terms very early in life with the fact that despite his immense power, he cannot stop bad things from happening. That his goal as a hero cannot be to stop bad things from happening, but instead should be about using his gifts to help those in need when the time comes. Sometimes, yes, he can stop a bullet. But he cannot eradicate the darkness that would convince a man to fire it in the first place.

One is about fighting against the dire currents of life, one is about accepting them and trying to make the ride as comfortable as possible. There is maturity and wisdom in acceptance.
