For me it comes down to one thing: I'm trying to follow my own nature.

The equation Bubble Tea = Something to Look Forward To depressurizes the misery of capitalism and is a Hello Kitty band-aid on the festering wound of Neo-Liberalism.

If you're with an agent and they don't like where your work is going - the pressure behind it is the pressure of the hierarchy which says "I know what I am talking about," which I find offensive.

I was always face to face with total futility and powerlessness.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of stance from the outside of that world to disagree.

Go ahead and do what you're doing.

I would love to love something, especially if I could do it without feeling like I was watching it die right in front of me.
