“Comprised of old journal entries, eraser and pencil shavings; its function is to absolve the past and inspire the future. Through containing these private thoughts, I can put my mind at ease. They no longer haunt me, because now I wear them as a shield.”

“I remember being so paranoid

about putting

my thoughts to paper that

I would intentionally write messy and
