technology violently
Technology is a wonderful thing, but I think it's violently misused.
Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.
Self-exploration is very painful, but unless you do that, you will never know who you are and who you want to be.
god oh
Oh my God, I'm a walking advertisement for discounted shopping.
Nothing I ever did I expected to do. It just kind of happened.
Nobody is original anymore. Nobody has any original style.
