The Slice: Everything in an Instant
This is the story of the day I was sent to The Ranch. Sometimes there are crystal clear moments, inflection points, where it’s obvious and undeniable that nothing will ever be the same. My eight months living in New Mexico, at the San Cristobal Ranch Academy - a program for ‘troubled teens’ - was my personal Crisis: there was a Jason before, and a Jason after, and they were not the same. The morning I was sent away is etched into my memory, and the experience has given me a unique perspective on how fragile the ice every one of us is living on top of actually is.
