It's hard to keep your backbone straight in America. It's easy to turn into that which you hate, and to get smashed.

Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel so strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.
