I was a shy kid

Once, around the age of 19, after someone I knew said ‘hello’ to me in the street, I panicked, flushed, sweated, mentally fogged my mind, disabled my thought processes and caused the person who had just said ‘hello’ to me to walk off. The process continued on for some time. Later I analysed the experience and realised that it had taken me about half an hour to return to my normal state. 

My choice was to either live with this or to wage war.

As I was potentially the only victim, I chose war and The Sunshine Star is the result of 25 years of hellish battle.
