Personally, I fought elan tooth and nail every single day I was there. They had no chance of breaking me. That isnt to say I don't have those dreams, I'm sure you all know the kind, 'trapped' in elan again, or someplace like it, unable to escape. No amount of drugs or whatever we do to escape it will completely erase what was done to us. I just sigh, shake my head, and try to think about something else.
To this day I've never talked about what happened to me while I was gone for those 14 months. to anyone. I tell people I was in a boarding school, a jail, a boot camp, a mental institution - because nothing can describe what elan truly is. "FUCKED UP" comes closest. My girlfriend knows bits and pieces, knows when I get that look in my eyes that I'm back 'there'. I still come here because you few people are the only ones who understand what my formative years were like. besides all the stupidity, thanks for just being here I guess.
