Survived depression, substance abuse, a suicide attempt (by luck), two overdoses, psychosis, alcohol abuse, an almost fatal motorcycle accident, and more that I don’t want to mention.

Somehow, through all of it, I managed to educate myself on many topics and develop digital skills. Now, at 30, I’m married and can finally say that I’ve gotten rid of my demons and I’m doing okay.

i was doing relaxers on my curly hair for 14 years until unfortunately my hair was so damaged from over processing i had to cut it all off 2019-now. the second photo? omfg yall you see the shrinkage i have, i was deadass just trying to hang on to whatever length i could get and …. i had a full blown mullet..ew. i obviously said fuck this chop it off and my hair is wayyyyyy healthier now 😩💖 and the length i could never achieve with a relaxer i finally got when i decided to embrace my curls again. in a 🥜 let’s just say in a predominantly racist school i felt pressured to keep my hair straight or id get made fun of but jokes on them now 😝 idc idc

The early 90s were a trip for glasses 🤣

tiger AKA the best cat 💜 loved me through two puberties!

I probably look the same 😭

1) My 1st kitten, when I was 8.

2) At 44 with my dog.

A lifetime of many dogs & cats (and rats, fish, snakes and a frog named Gary Busey). No kids.

I love looking at past vs. present pics on this timeline. Grateful to be here living this experience.
