I got a high from theater and from being onstage and I did many theater things in
school. I was given starring roles because I was able to self-transcend and be other
people effectively. Sometimes, in rehearsal, a mood would overtake me of
complete giddiness, which was like being on a magic carpet. I was so completely
beyond myself that I had ceased to be myself; a solid Otherness cohered in my
consciousness. It was a way of flying and of being in an enriched world that had
safety and surprise, stability and excitement, in it, simultaneously.
