For surely anyone who achieves anything is, essentially, abnormal.” PeopleThinkingSeemsLevelsAchieveIgnoranceComfortHorrorNormalLowsAverageMediocreSinkingAbnormalProximityLow LevelAbnormality Book:the Human Mind Source: the Human Mind

I'm someone who strives for success, for self-growth and new experiences, and to make a record that pushes me out of my comfort zone is something that's really exciting.
