“What doesn’t kill you gives you a set of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a dark sense of humor.” I thought it was supposed to make you stronger. I like this quote (written anonymously) because it really makes me think. Do I have unhealthy coping mechanisms? Do I have a dark sense of humor? I actually believe that my sense of humor is my coping mechanism. Much of it is reflected in my daily blog rightly titled “Writer’s Rant”. All these things I say may not sound like a rant, but if you read between the lines, there may very well be some things unsaid that would sound like I am ranting. Ranting and Raving are often said together, but I had to look up the current cultural definition of “rave”. It’s something like this: Raves are conceived of, in part, to ‘engineer an alternative reality for a few hours, a place where ordinary rules of consciousness and comportment would not apply.’ ” I should update my daily rant to include rave. They appear to go hand-in-hand!
