How can you really trust yourself? Impossible. You heard that people can sleep walk through life for at least a year before realizing that they are at risk for accident couplings and eating bad meals that they had not planned. You wanted to know more about this temporal space where you do know what you're doing but think you do and even that you might be in love.
You heard that the possibility of missing out on your real life is more certain than is normally calculated and you wondered about how you could miss out on something that you had not planned. Even so, you wanted to know who exactly had told you about the contingency of life experience and why they had not made clear that life was more certain. Perhaps, that had not heard about the people who insure that life will be clean and well thought out even though therapy is more expensive than anyone really thought would be possible. You know that you can trust yourself with a shrink because you can sleep on the couch and never realize that you have clarified anything until you see it later.
