I was not born or raised to be like everyone else. My quirks are what set me apart, at least that’s what I tell myself. I’m kind of awkward, kind of emo but love glitter and pink. I’m an annoying overachiever with healthy boundaries. Weird, I know. I’m a recovering workaholic who likes to sleep. I love connection, but I require more solitude (like hours, weeks, months) than I do connection. All these qualities come together to make some strange artistic writer (me) who adores all the odd things in our world that increase our well-being.
Sidenote: I’d love more weird artist friends who understand the solitude part. I also adore the friends I have!!
