I'm very into familiar things, popular things. I'm into things that no one seems to know about or be into. I'm trying to draw a line between those two things and make it clear... that it all makes sense to me. That it's not disparate. That it's all one thing inside me.

I fear being like everyone I hate, I fear failure, I fear losing control. I love balancing between chaos and control with everything I do.
