For me, Gothic is something from my youth, when I had a heavy metal phase.
I had a mystical experience when I was in my late teens, early 20s, and I spent years trying to recapture that.
I just happened to wind up in a metal band when I was 15.
From a young age I was obsessed with the mysterious, the esoteric, the paranormal.
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
When I was going through puberty, I had all these feelings of being unstable through those years, and being uncontrollably drawn to things of beauty and things that are bad.
I had a lot of chaos in my very early years before I was old enough to know what was going on, and then I just skated through the rest of my childhood without dealing with it.
When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.
When I was five years old, I told my parents that I wanted to take ballet. So, ballet was the focus of my life... until puberty. Then I discovered boys and started dating a guy with a mohawk who'd come to my ballet class and freak everybody out. Shortly after that is when I quit.
I've always reverted to a sense of childhood, just in everyday life.
