Loss of Innocence: I like living in an urban setting most of the time. I can walk places. Buy things. Sit in dark movie theaters. But today I opened a thing of deodorant, purchased new the previous day, and it had been used. I gasped, recoiled. This is why people become hermits. Live in the woods. Away from society. I contemplated how I should be buying these things. Who safety seals everything? Costco does. Or I could buy it online. All of that stuff comes from a nice clean warehouse. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about this, but needless to say, this has reignited the low level background paranoia that kept me awake for a week at a time. Are there people using these things in the stores? In the factories? Are people in my apartment using my things (one of my top fears)? &c.
