Little Pieces

An excerpt from a now deleted blog post from Juliana on her official site in 2008:

In “Little Pieces” I am feeling an emotional connection or what I would call “new love” with someone, but I have no claim on him because I haven’t really given or invested anything, because I don’t want to give up my freedom by becoming his girlfriend, and yet, still, it hurts to see him with other girls, because I have strong feelings for him. “I don’t want to talk it over” and “I never cried on anyone’s shoulder” means I want to remain free and independent and I want to be strong. But I am aware that there is a price to be paid for my freedom and independence: loneliness, isolation, feeling like an antisocial freak (in a world full of very sociable, verbal creatures) in perpetual exile from the human race and from what we are all conditioned and pushed to believe is normal; what society pretty much imposes on us, even when it is not necessary in terms of money/safety/procreation: coupledom/marriage/community, etc.
