Thought Project With Ashley Rothstein

The phrase 'underworld of chaos' makes me feel a certain way.   It feels dark, peculiar, and filled with terror. It also feels mystical, ancient, and freeing. I am often drawn to dark, magical, ancestral, primitive things. I love myths, themes, and stories, and how they make their way across history and become embedded in our conscious/unconscious minds.   Do you ever feel like you're in one state of mind, and then BOOM...something pops your 'bubble' and suddenly you're in another state of mind? This could be something as simple as a few words, a song, the presence of another person, or something quick and dirty that triggers a memory. Sometimes, the recall sends you to a pleasant place. Other times, it sends you to a not so good place.   A few simple words spoken by my dad sent me descending into this 'underworld of chaos' I speak of. I would label it as a not so good place, at least at a surface level view. I talk about what I learned from my quick descent, how scary it can be to feel like you're set loose
