"If you break faith with what you know, that's a betrayal of many, many, many, many people" - James Baldwin
I could never put you in that situation. There would be no excuse for me, the foundation of my art, my love, my integrity would crumble. I'd be spending the rest of my life building a fortress to protect myself from myself. All of my eccentricities and everything I take pride in would only serve as red flags of what not to do and who not to emulate. They would win, & even worse, I would end up among them.
