This is a very personal piece that reflects a state of being I have come to know very well over the past decade. It is somewhat autobiographical, but it takes different (yet thematically similar) elements of my existence over the past ten years and puts them all together at once. Therefore as a whole it is fictional, as nothing like it ever happened, nor could it have happened. Making this piece has allowed me to enter into a new chapter of my life, a chapter more free from the heavy weight that the character holds onto for safety.
