I have never felt as human as you have made me feel...
I'm gonna write a small thing about how I felt making this.
I grew up very dehumanized by the people around me, whether friends, family or strangers. I don't know if it was because I'm autistic or what, but I was always treated like an animal.
Simon has been an exploration of that feeling, the feeling of being treated like an animal set to slaughter.
Simon speaks to the dog in me that felt conditional love. There is something so alluring yet terrifying about the feeling of unconditional love. It feels unreal, it feels wrong. But sometimes closing your eyes and putting out a hand is the first step.
Sorry to get so personal but I felt like it was kinda important for the way I write Simon to be.
