I Think Proteins Are Really Good For

[i Hate] The Ways That People Want Their Special Needs To Be Met, Whether It's Their Food Allergies Or Their Special Lotions Or Shoes. Or The Ways That People Want Their Neighborhoods And Restaurants Curated In A Way That's Really Tailored To Them. Growing Up With Someone Who Was Living By These Very Strict, Repressive Rules For Themselves - It Made Me Very Allergic To The Idea Of Denial.

I Think When You're Writing From Your Own Life, It's Hard Because You Realize That People Have Their Own Assessment Of How They Look, And They Don't Know How You Will Describe Them.

People Give The Words Life Through Their Own Adoration Or Relationship To The Work, And That's True Of Everything. You Can't Divorce Critical Or Fan Reaction. Once It Exists, You Forget That The Words Are Arbitrary, Or You Start To Remove Value.

You Do Have To Live Through Things, And To Live Through Things Is To Observe Want, And To Observe Lacking. Even If The Hunger Is A Curiosity.

I've Mostly Been Focusing On Writing, And I've Really Enjoyed Not Playing Music. It Will Always Be Part Of My Life, But I Don't Feel The Immediate Need To Be Playing For People.
