I have an identity crisis which is not resolved because I'm a dual citizen. My whole family is American, and I was born in India but I was raised in Canada. But all my extended family is American, I've held an American passport and I've spent my whole adult life in between New York and LA. So I feel like an American... and I also feel like a Canadian! I wish more people were dual citizens and then I wouldn't feel like such a freak.
Emily HainesUntil the day we die, our lives are unwritten, which is sometimes a terrifying thought.
Emily HainesI just write what comes to me. I didn't sit down and say ok, here is my statement. It's just a song that has a shout out.
Emily HainesLots of people take the option of not activating their own life, of really letting it happen.
Emily HainesThe complete self-absorption, and childish indulgence and disregard, and having to feel as though everything you're doing is so people can live vicariously through you, so you have to pursue more and more unpleasant pastimes in order to satisfy the armchair people. That's a kind of scary existence.
