I think as a society we forget that men also have daddy issues, they’ve also had bad childhoods, they’re vulnerable beings.. They also need love. We are made to think men don’t have a hard time, and that’s mainly because we’ve trained them not to show emotion, not to shed a tear.. but I can...

Mi propio mundo, uno que es caleidoscopio, alucinada dimensión del sueño, morada de la musaraña. El otro (el dominio de la realidad), llego a mi a través de los hombres. Ellos fueron mis portavoces, mis guías y a la vez mis obstáculos, mis tormentos y matarratos.
