I’ve had years of gazing at ceilings from my bedroom to the open yet suffocating air of my environment and so I’d long ago found out the most deleterious ways to imagine the worse that my own mental illness could escalate to. I suppose the keenest redemption I can do for myself is to accept, unwisely, that it will be always in me. That in the most concealed that I can be, in the bulwarks of my den, I would still dilapidate in unforeseen consequences. I cannot get hold of my weaknesses. There is this need to control something that is protruding. And so I have this desire to surround myself with people dwelling in Art. For such thing is my only filler in this perceptible void; an outlet for my bottled up tantrums; a celestial sanctuary for my repressed childhood traumas, wherein my involuntary existence would not waste away as a mediocre in this unending charade in a social climbing third-world country. 197 HUBIN MAGAZINE
