You might be a judge or a mother or a dreamer. You might be a loner or a visionary or a pessimist. You might be the victim, and you might be the bully. You could be the parent, and also the child. You might wond one day and heal the next.

I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateur drunks, the bores.

I always considered myself a loner.
I mean, not like a poor-me, Byron-esque, I-should-have-brought-a-swimming-buddy loner.

I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would be happy without them.

sights and was looking after me. Even if I was a loner in my own
band, at least I still felt the presence of the city I lived in.
