Dress shopping with my mom & sister: I refused to...
The sales woman kept trying to argue with me about what gender I was until my mom and sister and I all insisted. Her reply “dont blame me if security gets you.” We laughed at her. Lol adventures at the mall.

Toxic Crusaders is just as good as I remember... →
When I was a kid, I LOVED Toxie. A big bond between us was that he had a handkerchief and so did I -everyone always made fun of me for using one… they still do actually, but here was a superhero using one! He used his “hanky” whenever he cried, which was usually because he was emotionally moved. I loved that he was sensitive and how he loved his tutu, and that he was also very...

Is it my fault for not...

The Unleashed Mind: Why Creative People Are... →
This article is fascinating!!
“…creativity and eccentricity often go hand in hand, and researchers now believe that both traits may be a result of how the brain filters incoming information.
