Sidewalk Chalk Guy

This was sent to me recently and I had to post it - it's absolutely astounding...

It was my most recent ex (Goddess that I have to clarify this shit) - and he said something really amazing to me - for I am still upset almost every time we talk or see each other...he told me that in his mind - the things that he did - that were indeed very real and very painful to me (and to him as well with the fallout that occurred) - were basically no more than these chalk pictures because (as he went onto explain) - it made him do things that weren't truly *real* have feelings that were not based in fact - but in fact fantasy and that his illness - his not taking his meds etc. made him act in irrational and unreasonable ways. Like it was all an illusion.

I felt compelled to share both the pictures and what he said. Because, while I still don't 'buy it' while I still feel it's all an excuse (smoke and mirrors) - I can't help but be drawn into this explanation and even a small part of me wants to (and does at times indeed) - understand what he's talking about.

But mainly I wanted to share these images and links with you guys.
