been doing a lot of drugs and dwelling on my traumas.
And mushrooms showed me that my biggest trauma
was learning that Santa Claus was not real.
But here's the thing.
When you think about Santa, when you're on mushrooms,
you realize they've been talking about Santa
for thousands of years.
And they're going to keep talking about Santa
for thousands of years.
Yet I'm only going to live for like 80 years.
So in a way, isn't Santa more real than me?
So here's my question.
If Santa's not real, and I'm less real than Santa,
then why did it feel real when he molested me at the mall?
Our traumas ground us in the physical reality.
