Could the vaguely psychic girl I met last night predict my life will get better?

She said something to me about falling 7 times but the 8 will get
better. My interpretation is that it relates to my age and the length of
time since I was first hospitalised. It's 8 years now.

She also hit upon my favourite quote, one that I've tried to live by for
almost as long as I've been a psychiatric patient.
" A reasonable person see the world as it is and tries to change to fit
in. An unreasonable person sees the world as it is and tries to change
it to fit them. Therefore change is only made by unreasonable people."
It was originally said by George Bernard Shaw.

She also said I was a sciencey type but I thought that was fairly
obvious. I met her after I butted into their conversation about
sexuality. She'd noted that she had lots of gay friends. I said the
evidence shows birds of a feather stick together, at least from the
studies they've done using Facebook. I also wear glasses and say things
like "hetereonormative, monogamous constructs."

About Me

We It comes in part from an appreciation that no one can truly sign their own work. Everything is many influences coming together to the one moment where a work exists.

I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
