'I spent most of my teenage years crying, watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and hanging at Flinders Street Station. Not because I was one of the 93,000 daily passengers accessing its fifteen train lines. Because I was part of an untouchable cultural ecosystem on the steps leading up to the train station. The goth space.'

I grew up in a small town in Arizona, and I was simply too timid to do anything that would make me stand out. Yes, I wrote weird sad poetry at the library before fencing class, and I drew Death Note fan art, and I wore plaid skirts over jeans on the weekends when no one from school would see me, but that was my limit. I remember once buying a grey shirt because I was worried that people would think I was a poser if I dressed in black.' (Mira Schlosberg Editorial introduction) 2019 pg. 6-7.
