About Me

s-h-o-n-a.
"did your boyfriend give you that bruise on your leg?"
i'm sick of all this bullshit. picture your grandma with a bottle of wine in one hand and a ring in her nose. yeah, that's me.

"You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing... Our imagination, and our dreams, are forever invading our memories; and since we are all apt to believe in the reality of our fantasies, we end up transforming our lives into truths. Of course, fantasy and reality are equally personal, and equally felt, so their confusion is a matter of only relative importance... I am the sum of my errors and doubts as well as my certainties." Luis Bunuel
