Enter the year you turned 10 into the gif bar to see what was popular back then.

Yea. I do realize it isn't for everyone, and that's fine. But I literally don't have the energy for more than one person at a time. I don't believe in "forever". Just want one person to share lives with for however long the universe allows.

....hmm maybe 🤔🤣

I should!

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?

what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?

what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?

what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

Thinking of making stats post or a how I got my agent post or an overall querying journey post...but idk
