Delulu is the Solulu: the secret to success? total delusion coupled with an insane work ethic. you're welcome.

i mean the truth is i was a total nerd in high school so i had a LOT of time to myself to create a strong inner world and i became really good at shutting out the noise. this, coupled with my deranged work ethic, meant that i was tenacious and simply would never give up. soooo that's been the secret to my success, hahaha.
