Dec 30, 2022Member-onlyI’m doing this for me first.Dancing in the dark. Dancing with my shadows. — I dance with radical transparency to make a point. I like to push myself. I like to feel myself. I learn where I stand by coming up against my edges. This is not performative. I’ve been alchemising so much rage lately. I’ve been letting myself FEEL the muck, the grime & the heartache. I’ve…Year In Review2 min readYear In Review2 min read

Nov 22, 2022Member-onlyThe only thing that any of us has to do is be truthful.It sounds simple, and it is. — We are born dying. The purpose of life is to learn how to live before our time on Earth runs out. These words are a prophecy. I think, therefore I am — or will be. Descartes would’ve loved me.
