So I began my journey in words when, in the 4th grade, me and my best friend tried to start a screamo band. Screamo turned to rock, the blues, and really any genre imaginable; and through Jim Morrison of the Doors, I discovered poetry; so I'm stuck.
"Outsiders who see rules and not the love that runs through them are often too ready to label other people as 'prisoners'." -Iris Murdoch in The Sea, The Sea
