Manno,

In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you

About Me

I'm Brittney Manno
& I believe in fairytales.

I am going to change the world.

"the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art."


"i hope it brings you some sense of peace or rest. or maybe that when you walk down the stairs into the basement of yourself that you can dust off old ideas of who you are and know that the clouds part from time to time."


"What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.”
-Chuck Palahniuk

The Friend Philosophy

When I decide to be close to someone and become a friend i do not take it lightly. I refuse to make someone a priority when they don't make me theirs.
