My mother was an extremely creative woman, despite the fact that she lived the life of a rural housewife.

The Flower of My Secret is definitely more based in true emotions. I also wanted to make something more realistic, but not naturalistic or simple.

An ample arse helps you to be weighed down and be grounded.

Anything that is not autobiography is plagiarism.
