I like when people can articulate their impulse to write so clearly, especially when they’re able to contextualize it like this. Disgust is a powerful emotion that can drive exploration and I related to some of this. Thanks for sharing!

The cycle you map out lands hardest at the reintegration point.The cycle you map out lands hardest at the reintegration point. That's where horror does what nothing else can: it gives you back a meaning you didn't have before, built out of the wreckage of the one you walked in with. Disgust is the only emotion that can do that without lying about what it costs.

Disgust is just so human. Thus, it is creative. And that should gross you out. A great write, Mac!
