“If I hadn’t made me, I would’ve been made somehow. If I hadn’t assembled myself, I’d have fallen apart by now. If I hadn’t made me, I’d be more inclined to bow, powers that be would have swallowed me up but that’s more than I can allow. If you let them make you, they’ll make you papier-mâché, at a distance you’re strong, until the wind comes then you crumble and blow away. If you let them fuck you, there will be no foreplay. Rest assured, they’ll screw you complete til your ass is blue and gray. You should make amends with you, if only for better health. But if you really want to live, why not try and make yourself?” –Brandon Boyd
