I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
"Before you could remember things, what kind of a child were you, did you parents ever tell you?
Tora: First of all, I didn't cry, they told me that I never even once wet the bed, it seems like I was a bit of a strange child.
As a child, were you not hard to deal with?
Tora: It seems that way. It seems like when I grew up I became hard to deal with (laughs)
So, what memories do you recall? Around the time you were in kindergarden and such.
Tora: Hm, I don't really remember anything. I only have memories of being bullied. Simply because the colour of my eyes were different, and the colour of my hair was brown.
When that happens, you don't want to attend school.
Tora: Ah, it was painful during those times."

This interview always makes my heart clench a little. Because all of this sounds so familiar, too familiar. I know for a fact that no matter what happens to you later in life, no matter how successful you become the wounds of childhood are deep and it might take the rest of your life to heal them.
But I look at this amazing beautiful man who went through it all and managed to keep his sensitivity, his honesty and his beliefs and I see him smiling, I see him looking truly happy, and I tell myself I'll just need to be patient a little longer, I know I'll be alright.
