  • If you asked me where I wanted to be at 34, I’d tell you “right where I am and want to be.” I cannot begin to thank everyone for all this Birthday Love. I feel so blessed and I am truly grateful. 
Thank you for always appreciating what I do and my efforts. Thank you for your patience, I know I’m not as fast with putting out stories, but you guys wait so eagerly, and that makes me want to create the best art I can. Thank you for trusting my process, and being so supportive!
It truly is a HAPPY birthday! 
Hugs all around! 💕😊

  • HOW 
do you define a word without concrete meaning? To each his own, the saying goes, so

WHY
push to attain an ideal state of being that no two random people will agree is

WHERE 
you want to be? Faultless. Finished. Incomparable. People can never be these, and anyway,

WHEN
did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person

WHO
lives inside your skin? The outside belongs to others. Only you should decide for you -

WHAT
is perfect.
