My name's Mckenzia Stroud, and I love a lot of things.
The sound of my father's laugh. My adorable half-brother, Cosmo. The taste of strawberries. Playing vibraphone.
Garrett Walker, the only other percussionist in the school, has a nasty habit of forgetting that he is not included in that list.
If anything, I'd be more than happy to add him to the comprehensive list of things I hate.
He can go right up there at the top.
Just below my sister's drinking, my mother's new marriage(s), and the taste of said sister's liquor.
Alcohol is an acquired taste, but the flavor of that cynic of a marimbist will never be welcome on my lips.

Silently the Senses Abandon Their Defenses (Larry Stylinson)
"You know, the answer to everything. You know all there is to know in the universe. Crunch the numbers. Tell me the answer. What's the point of love if it's just gonna disappear? And how is it worse to not love anybody? There has to be meaning to existence. Otherwise, the universe is just made of pain, and I don't like the thought of that, so tell me the answer." "If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn't be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it's euphoria." -The Good Place Louis and Harry's love of music helps them find each other. And in one night, euphoria.Complete

Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
