"I really like - well right now I’m writing again, and I’m drawing again. I stopped for a while. A lot of my friends left. Well, to be specific, I left them. Because... I realized they were horrible people. So, for a while I stopped because I became really depressed and I didn’t really wanna do anything. And I just started up again. During that time, I spent a lot of time alone and taking long walks by myself and sort of, rediscovering myself. Right now, I’m just doing exercises. And then after I do drawing exercises I feel like I will finally find what I truly enjoy and my own style. There’s this one, well basically it’s a snake, but you draw circles. And each one has to be smaller than the one before it. And you connect them. And then you continue to make them farther apart, so you have to do curves and stuff. It’s a little hard. I would be invisible, if I had a super power, since I have a lot of social anxiety and stuff. I don’t know, I guess I would sit back and observe people all the time. I know that sounds really creepy, but that’s what I would do. I came in here [MCAC] and I met a lot of great people. And then, with those great people some new people come in and I get to meet them as well. So, the whole time I’m just in this comfortable space with all of my friends."
