Caught in the whitewash

Sometimes the world moves so fast in all different directions. You're in it, but one minutes you're supposed to be one kind of person, and the next minute a totally different person. And while it all swirls on around you you just pray you can keep your head up through the spray and the whitewash and not get slammed to the sand. Once your head gets under the water it can be hard to figure out which way is up.

Reading SFGate I came across this article on a man who had had an evil stepmom who found a doctor to give him a lobotomy when he was 12. The story is sad and unsettling, and hints at what it is that makes you you.
