I want people to see the truth.

I think the increased ubiquity of the internet and networked computing in general allowed me to have some tether no matter where I was geographically. I could log in to a computer from anywhere in the world and access the same information and the same people. It allowed me to transcend the physical differences.

While being tossed around the world from place to place as a teenager, I wasn't really tethered to any place or anyone.

As a young kid, I spent a lot of time exploring the world around me.

I really don't care how I am perceived by people on the outside.

I think it's actually kind of sweet how there is a reciprocal effect that our stories can have on each other.

I prefer a painful truth over any blissful fantasy.
