My insanity keeps me sane.


A paradox, I know, but that's really just the best way I can find to explain it.

Me? Well, the main thing that keeps me sane is masturbation. Or thinking about something I will later be masturbating to.

Don't look at me like that. We all do it, I'm just man enough to be the first to come out and say it.

But other than... certain actions, I suppose optimism, humor, and just a general curiousness about the universe helps.

Honestly, it's probably that song "Always look on the bright side of life" by Monty Python.
In fact, if not for Monty Python and other comedians in general keeping me in a good mood I suspect that a few years ago there would have been quite a bit less people and unused bullets in my town.

I write, that tends to keep me more sane than anything. Escapism, you know? But it's the productive kind, I mean it's escapism but I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile too, so that's pretty badass, ultimately. Plus, I love to look back at my early stuff and see how far I've come - but that keeps happening, it's like every time I think I've got better I look back and see how I've got better still. I mean I wouldn't even say I'm good yet, I'm an amateur with more ideas than the ability to back it up, but one day I will be able to write what I want, and that's a really great thought for me, and more than anything it keeps me going.

I wouldn't claim to be sane. Don't worry, I'm not that guy, I just accept that there's always gonna be that voice in my head that tells me to put an axe through the person who says 'lol' without sarcasm.

But if you mean what keeps me out of a mental hospital then I'd go not shouting that at the cheese for cheating on me with the milk.

Music, to the point that I've now taken up listening to it in one ear turned down during some of my classes if only to keep me sane.

Exercising. I go running pretty much every day ever since I quit smoking (which used to be what kept me sane)

Writing, and my lover. Writing helps me get my emotions out of my system and my lover helps those emotions tend toward happiness.

My friends, videogames, work (yes, work, I'm weird like that) and the knowledge that if I were to die the world would not be able to handle my death, and would most likely crumble into total anarchy.

EDIT- Oh, and let's throw "magic: the gathering" in there, too. Building decks (I'm a tournament player, btw) and figuring out what works and what doesn't is beyond soothing.

I really don't know.

Right about now my life is pretty much fine, with the exception of me being the bearer of God's Almighty Cockblock. It use to be running, because strenuous exercise can beat the Emo out of you, But yeah...

Life is pretty sane for me. Subject to change in a week or two.

Edit: Oh, and the guy above me reminded me that work would be a factor in keeping me sane. Not work technically, more like a volunteer at Ronald McDonald house, but its still pretty fun.

Don't know, I just manage to cope somehow. Usually when it gets overbearing I abuse painkillers or smoke a cigarette and I am fine again.

I'm stuck in a living hell sometimes, only my religion and video games get me by, and knowledge that perhaps one day things will turn my way.

Nothing really. I'm pretty sane on my own.

If I had to say something, it'd be people. There were a few times where I went 3-4 days without talking to a single person. It drove me insane. Thankfully, my new job as a cashier will stop that.

Drawing comics keeps me sane...

If you can call them comics... Most of them are on binder paper...

My reaction to just about everything is fairly flat. Maybe i'm already insane but it takes a lot just to make me angry or stressed about something in the first place so i'm not worried about it.
