It's never good to love oneself. Especially your art. To listen to compliments is like seeking out nourishment from cotton candy. I am never satisfied with art, as neither am I complete in the presence of another equally damaged as myself. There is supposedly good in everyone well, that said, know **** well the rest is made up of pure **** and self-loathing. Time has taught me to hate society. From liars to ladder climbers, I have little to no use. It's all a con, and I simply refuse to play the game. The poison consumes me slowly as the earth awaits my collapse. Tomorrow is another day. Unfortunately.
