[@Shinyshoesz]

The dude knows precisely what he is talking about. I had friends like this growing up. They were really really smart but also really really sensitive and the barrier they put up was just to accommodate their own pains. There's a lot of innocence there, actually. He's joking through conversations because it's real pain he doesn't want to dwell on. His parents were intellectuals (his father, being a Poet Laureate for his native country). He's not about to give you answers because he's sensitive enough to know he doesn't know everything either. He's an incredible poet and has bonkers lyrical talent!

I think Earl has so much going on in his head that he finds it hard to vocalise. He’s clearly much better at compartmentalising things on paper with a pen, which is why his lyrics are so insightful and intelligent

[@TabethaAurochs]

I absolutely suck at expressing myself verbally on the spot. It's not that I don't have the words, but that I've got ALL the words right here simultaneously. When you give me a notebook and a pen or a keyboard, the physical act of writing forces my brain to cut through all the noise - and it is ON. And on, and on, and on... Don't even think about getting into it with me via text; I will five paragraph essay your phone's memory to death. Just ask MY mom 😂
