children experience surreal
It was surreal to step out of my own existence and see how most American children experience things.
against children confined ingrained repressed
I feel like that's so ingrained in so many children that you are so confined and repressed growing up that, anything you do, you have to rebel against it at some point.
mom
My mom comes from a really out-there upbringing, so for her, the way she raised me is pretty disciplined. I was home-schooled but more really unschooled, really.
age people
I was very angsty from a very young age. The way people start acting when they're 15, I started being at 8.
I was a pretty alert kid, and I, you know, I was very interested in arts.
I try not to worry about my appearance as much as possible.
certain convoluted dramatic emotion focus general human humanity mean overly presented stories supposedly
I don't want to make any general statements, but I feel like so many stories that are presented as being about humanity and human emotion are just so convoluted and overly dramatic and focus on these certain little things that are supposedly meaningful, but just don't really mean anything.
crave everyday feeling filled growing life people struggled valid
I've struggled so much, growing up, with just feeling that my life is valid because it's not filled with these hyper-dramatic moments, and I think a lot of people of my generation feel that way. We're so inundated with hyper-drama that people crave everyday life.
people
It's beautiful to have people look me in the eyes and actually treat me like a human.
art draw interested
I'm interested in all kinds of art. I draw and paint and don't know how to play the banjo, but I do play the banjo.
definitely rebel society taught trust
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
