You know, I refuse. People know this about me. I refuse to take any pills for anything. I can't sleep. No sleeping pills. Yeah. I've had a bunch of surgeries and reconstructive surgeries on my arm. My shoulder hurts? No, no pain pills. I like to know how much it hurts and how injured it is. No, I don't take pills for anything ever. Supplements are different.

Yeah, I take melatonin if I can't sleep. However, I just – yeah, I don't take pills because I just don't like it. I don't like the idea of – needing to convince my mind that reality isn't real. If my hand hurts, that's reality, right? A painkiller is fake. I think my hand doesn't hurt, but it should, and it does. Yeah, and... Nowadays, everyone's looking for the quick fix.

Everyone's looking for the quick fix. So it's very easy, especially when your life's a mess, when your life isn't in order, to lean on the mental health crutch. And I'm not saying mental health problems don't exist because they very much do. But it's very easy to be special. It's very easy to be told that, oh, well, you've got depression or you're a manic depressive. Okay, fine.

Well, my life, everything's falling apart around me. Oh, but you know, I'm a manic depressive. That makes me unique. That makes me special. I see people type the worst on the internet. And what I hate is the term survivor for things that can't kill you. I don't like that term being used for things that... Shark attack survivor, I'll give you. Mental health survivor...

What the f*** does that even mean? You've been sad before? Well, me too. I can't stand it. And it's a very easy way to get the quick fix, to make you feel special, to make you feel like nothing is your fault, to absolve yourself of all responsibilities. Instead of absolving yourself through your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, you can absolve yourself of your sins and your failures through...

Yeah, that's very interesting. It depends if you're talking fiction or nonfiction. So reading is a way of escapism. Like I like stories. I like fictional novels because you learn a lot from them. I would say that ignore all the movies. They're all gay, but everyone knows the story of the three musketeers. You know, that's a 50 hour read.
