too far gone

"The mere fact that you realize you need help, indicates you are not too far gone."

I heard this quote, spoken by Lucy from 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' the other day while making dinner in the kitchen.  And it got me thinking.  Where am I on the "too far gone" scale?  Every time I think of this, it just humors me!  One, because it's adorable hearing that sentence come out of a child's mouth and two, because, I really, honestly, truly believe, that I AM infact, somewhere on that scale... and progressing deeper into it.  Hey, at least I can laugh about it.  And I must not yet be "TOO FAR GONE" if I know I'm even there. 
Although, that realization feels like watching the back end of a tunnel light as I ride a train farther and farther away from it... getting smaller and smaller...  soon, I fear, I might not realize it anymore.
That's okay, I think it could be fun, being a little crazy...
After all, some of the most amazing, famous, and beneficial people in history were a little crazy.  Which leads me to think, maybe it's all the normal people that are really the crazy ones. 
Yeah, I think that's what I think.
Normal people are insane.
