I’m scared of the dark Its fear in the worst form Bickering in silence with the light Holding on tight to the light switch Please let it go, I’m afraid of you. With a purpose...

&quot;I write about...the masses! The individual doesn&#039;t count in modern society.&quot;<br /> &quot;But aren&#039;t the masses made up of individuals?&quot;<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t quibble.&quot;<br /> (not my own personal quote, but I like it - from &quot;Stage Door&quot;)

&quot;I was always an unusual girl.<br /> My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean, and if I said I didn&#039;t plan for it to turn out this way I&rsquo;d be lying.<br /> Because I was born to be the other woman.<br /> I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.<br /> Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn&#039;t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.&quot;
