A stingy ass bitch
That’s me baby. Or I should say I’m recovering. I’ve always struggled with giving. I’ve always clawed away my money because I was afraid of what happens if it runs out. #trauma ?

It’s about value and doing simple things that make your life better. Anyway, I started to do the same this year because 2023…

The weight of dreaming big
If we had a drinking game for how many times people asked us “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, it would be one hell of a party. I always wanted to make movies. When I was about 12, I watched Rango. Now, it has been so many years since I watched…
