You Do Have To Live Through Things,

Once You're Away From Music, I Realize That's As Intrinsic To Who I Am As Anything Else. That's The Part That Takes Me Out Of My Brain.

I'm Pretty Horrible At Relationships And Haven't Been In Many Long-term Ones. Leaving And Moving On - Returning To A Familiar Sense Of Self-reliance And Autonomy - Is What I Know; That Feeling Is As Comfortable And Comforting As It Might Be For A Different Kind Of Person To Stay.

The Idea Of Self-effacement, The Idea That You Feel So Powerless That The Only Tiny Morsel Of Power You Have Is Over Your Own Ability To Deny Yourself Food - That To Me Is A Very Profound And Sad Methodology And Indicator Of How Powerless A Lot Of People Feel In This World. That They Will Turn That Onto Themselves Until They Are Physically Smaller. I Think It's Affected My Worldview A Lot - Just Being Sensitive And Empathetic Towards The Ways People Want To Be Small. I Don't Wish Smallness For Anyone.

A Lot Of Music For Me Was About - I Mean Aside From The Fun And Challenge Of Writing And Being Really Good Friends With My Bandmates - Getting To Perform.

I Don't Want To Mislead People.
