(IV) LIVING & JAPAN

"Our new chapter has begun."

"If being vulnerable attracts every single soul, I’m doing it wrong."

"With the wrong values, you are capable of destroying your life. With the right ones, you are capable of building a better future."

"Who am I to complain about having less when others literally have nothing?"

"There is beauty in detachment. But there is something equally beautiful in holding on to someone you consider your home."

"I want to establish my presence as the introverted and queer creator who celebrates uniqueness through their writing."

"As a child, I was a rebel. In society, I’m an outcast. I’ve always just been the queer and tattooed one."

"Taylor (the woman) and Taylor Swift (the brand)—she’s mastered how to creatively weave these two personas together she’s built an empire upon them."

"I felt like running away. That urge to escape and just leave everything behind resurfaced yet again."

"I'm annoyingly convinced that the majority of people today feel extremely disconnected, dissatisfied, and existentially frustrated. Human beings are more lost than ever."
