Hi all I just came here to look for answers on my bizarre situation

Hello, I haven't been on this forum very long, but, as you can see from the replies there are people here eager to help, myself included. From my own life experiences, I have developed an appreciation for unanswered questions and bizarre situations. This appreciation comes from the realization that, sometimes there are no concrete answers, and this is good. If so, seeking the answers is the answer. The questions are like a gate or a portal. If the questions are answered, then, the portal is closed. This defeats the purpose for the unanswered question. Because of this, one of my favorite mantras is: "the question IS the answer".

From my point of view, some questions are unanswerable by design. Their purpose, their intention, is not to be answered. They're provocative. In eastern philosophy, these are "koans". The unanswerable is an invitation to open the mind, to provoke an emptying of preconcieved notions and an exploration into the realms of "what-could-be".

Even if there are answers to the bizarre, each of those answers often spawn more questions in a "one ---> to ---> many" relationship. I find this awe inspiring, but, that requires escaping from the very human natural desire for closure that comes from knowing the answers.

Yes, sometimes the whole point to a question is to disabuse me of looking at things in quite that way. "A picture held us captive," as ol' Wittgenstein put it.
