dyse I am beyond proud & overjoyed for you & your ability to remain true to who you are through all the adversity & audacity. As bell hooks once said 'I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to somebody else's whim or to someone's ignorance' & neither have you. Not one, not two, yes three degrees. congrats!

I’m grateful for all those people I’ve met since I’ve became a banana slug. I’ve created my own little family circle and those people know who they are. They’ve fed me, cared for my well being, and supported me unconditionally. If you’ve done none of those things- you’re in a different shape. Focus on the small little joys in life and you’ll be alright💙
