Anything is possible - even the most far-fetched idea can come to being through a series of seemingly small decisions and actions.

My mom is my best friend and always offers me great perspective and reminds me to be compassionate to myself in moments when I feel low.

Singing in front of people. It's like having your heart beat outside of you.

Id love a werebear. But I guess you need that seductive element of danger. And though bears can be dangerous, when you say werebear it just sounds kind of cuddly. Probably has a rainbow on his belly.

I'm always preparing for a regular life.
