I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential 'God, I exist, and nobody cares' of being a teenager were extremely pronounced for me.

Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down...tell you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens...makes her a home.

People with real power never fear of losing it. People with control think of little else.
