“Reality constantly surrounds us like a wall and we suffocate inside it. Thus seeking to escape within our imagination. However, even there nothing is ideal because you can never escape from your very own shadows. The id of one’s self creates the most powerful demons that follow you in your every thought and desire haunting your mind and soul. They eventually become one and are no longer a shadow but a part of you… The sweet threat of the end, the inner daemon that … inside it you let yourself go and surrender.”
