I'm really close to my family. As I get older, it's like they're the only people I really talk to.

For a long time I wanted to be special and to stick out amongst the crowd. Something I yearn for now is to be one of many.

I was toying with the idea of ambivalence a lot. It's something I work on, not being so invested in outcomes and being more engaged in the process of my life.

Iowans are super talkative, like me. I'm very talkative. I'm very curious about strangers.

I'm very much a homebody so once I have my home set up how I want it, that's my zen, my comfy little nest where I drink my wine and watch my Netflix.

I don't want to get into an argument at the bar with some old racist homophobic person.

Sometimes people think, "You don't get to have it all, you don't get to be happy, life's a struggle," but what if it's not?
