I think there's a kind of confidence I often feel when I'm writing that I don't feel when I'm in the world, I guess. I feel a different kind of conviction about my choices. I feel much more insecure and awkward in the world, somehow, than I do when I'm writing.

我想，当我写作的时候，我经常感觉到一种自信，而我在这个世界上却没有这种自信。我对自己的选择有一种不同的信念。不知何故，在这个世界上，我感到比写作时更没有安全感，更尴尬。
