butterfly people tears
I cry really easily. If I see a butterfly, I'll practically burst into tears. So it's really hard for me to yell at people, because I'll feel so guilty about it. But if I don't, then they don't take me seriously and it's this endless cycle.

From an early age, I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

I'm not, like, a natural performer. It's sort of a thing that I've had to learn to do.

I'm actually not a particularly negative person, but I feel like most things are better when they're not actualized. The motivation that comes from wanting something is so much more driving of people than actually getting it.
equals feet goals lazy obviously ready
We were lazy. We didn't come out ready to play, and Elco obviously did. Lazy feet equals goals for the other team.
