I think that the most difficult thing is allowing yourself to be loved, so receiving the love and feeling like you deserve it is a pretty big struggle. I suppose that's what I've learnt recently, to allow myself to be loved.

It's so bizarre, I'm not scared of snakes or spiders. But I'm scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!

The more you love, the more you crave.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

I am very shy - really shy - I even had a stutter as a kid, which I slowly got over, but I still regress into that shyness. So I don't like walking into a crowded restaurant by myself; I don't like going to a party by myself.

My personality does well with people who are deemed difficult. I don't know why it does but I just seem to get along with them. The more difficult the better.
