Naturally, my body language changes given whatever environment I'm in.

It's Aslan, the lion from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. It's a symbol of my hellish childhood. I struggled through my oppressive teenage years and when I turned 18 I escaped. Like Aslan I was finally free.

My roommate and my boyfriend, they both know I am compulsive and controlling.

I was really bored and unhappy in school, and I used to act out and do horrible things.

It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.

I'm so glad I'm not 20 years old anymore. I was in a hurricane. I'm a lot calmer now. I don't cause destruction for myself and others everywhere I go.

You won't see me in a better mood than 4:00 in the morning on my way to work.
