The Strangeness of Life By She

By Clare Collins

The memoir of She.

Some extracts: -

She wrote: -

There was wonder. There was fear.
There was a very thin layer of atmosphere
that we all had to live in. The sky was immense
it was not really blue. Even our eyes were not really blue

She was extraordinary. She was ordinary.
She was unique. She was commonplace.
She's life and thoughts were fascinating. She's life and
thoughts were mundane.
She was everyone. She was every woman She was like
no one else.
She was a dreamer. She was a realist.
She was a narcissist like her Mother. She was nothing
like her Mother, but He said,"It's not all about you."
This was difficult She thought when you are
physically ill and She said so.
She was courageous. She was a coward.

She was stoical. She was hysterical.
She was modest. She was vain.
She was a saint. She was the very Devil....
She was logical. She was totally cuckoo.
She was toffee nosed as one of her teachers put it: She
was modest.
She always turned the other cheek. She sometimes
fought back.

She wrote: -

Everything was right, everything was wrong. The
World she assumed was spinning how else would you
get day and night? She knew everything she knew
nothing. She knew life was real. She knew life was
unreal.

There were no such things as ghosts.There were
ghosts. She had seen one.

Back in the womb her mother
tried to kill her: not on purpose.Their blood was not
compatible.

There were several times throughout her life She cheated death and as Friedrich Nietzsche said: -

"He who has a why to live can bear almost anyhow."

In writing this memoir She ( Clare) has opened her mind and let her thoughts and memories of thoughts be known. She has wanted in part to express her feelings about becoming ill with an autoimmune disease at a late stage in her life. One primarily caused by a gene. Snippets of her life from an early age to more recently weave in and out. It is written as a stream of consciousness.

"if a book has no index or good table of contents it is
very useful to make one as you are reading it."

By Isaac Watts

Despite having no defined chapters this book is eminently readable.

She would have liked to think what happened to her wasn't a tragedy but, it was it was tragic.

This is a book for A.I.H sufferers and sufferers of serious Mental Health problems such as Psychosis. You are innocent. It is also a book for anyone interested in A.I.H or mental health. Or just simply a look into the mind of a human being.
