About Me

I am the product of a Greek-life has-been that longs to go back. I am unruly like an avalanche and intense like a drag queen. I cry like a thunderstorm and worry like a mother. I’ll love you like you are my forever, but shun you like you are a leper. When I talk I expect you to listen, even if things don’t make sense, but I’ll listen to you even if you think I’m not.
