Steam
Intueri is a blog by a psychiatric resident. The entries are often moving, stunning, funny.
Today’s, though, god.
A man told me about how he has killed many small animals. With his bare hands. Strangling. Because he would get so angry at people he cared about. His anger would boil over and spill onto the world around him and his scalding rage would sear through the flesh of those small animals, their screams filling the air like white steam.
It’s a disturbing entry and it’s mesmerizing. The writing alone, I mean, that image above - she has such power as a writer.
The entry made think of how easy it is to forget how much you can hurt, how much you can feel like a freak, when you’ve been happy and strong for a while.
Yes, most people’s problems are a combination of things, including their own bad choices, but sometimes life deals you a hand you can’t work through.
That breaks my heart and I don’t understand why and it makes it hard for me to believe in a god that intervenes.
