I wonder how it feels to push back the barrier in your mind that makes you retreat from suffering, from starving, from fully experiencing the coldness, the instinct that makes you return to feeling normal again. We never allow ourselves to experience these extremes, but if we did, I think that would be what it means to be truly numb-- to be lost in one feeling, unable to turn away. Not what we usually consider numbness as, being lost in no feeling at all-- that seems more like normalcy.
