The death of a 20-year-old woman is intuitively worse than that of a 2-month-old girl, even though the baby has had less life. The 20-year-old has a much more developed personality than the infant, and has drawn upon the investment of others to begin as-yet-unfulfilled projects.

A lot of the albums that I’ve been really into are like, ‘Oh man. That doesn’t make him look like a perfect human. That actually shows his warts and his scars, and for some reason, I’m super drawn to him now because he shared that or she shared that with me.’
