My Instagram and associated projects were all about spreading positive energy.  This blog was birthed out of the frustration of outgrowing social media and no longer receiving nourishment from expressing myself there or interacting with people on such a surface level.  I've realized this page has taken on a bit of a different tone and become a place for me to vent and express some bitterness I'm still working through.  While there's nothing wrong with that, I wouldn't say it's reflective of my day to day life or the type of energy I'm putting out in it.  I'm pretty positive and very grateful for where I'm at but when pain arises this blog is a refuge for me to let that keyboard fly.  I'm not going to stop doing that but I just wanted to make a quick post to focus on the positive and express some gratitude .  I'll spare everyone the long list of natural elements, deities, and things like that I say thank you to on the daily, but here's a list even the non spiritually inclined will understand.  These are all people and things I've been incredibly grateful for lately...

Thank you to...

This adventure would not be possible without you 💛

I only posted the first few bars of that Zoo song the other day but there's a lot more where that came from and that track is going to make this whole experience worth it. Everything is temporary. Everything is an opportunity.  Homelessness is an art form and my hair is looking better than ever.

Here's a taste of the next six 🍫

Six foot three, cooped up like a vamper
Ain't got no bathroom, I might need a pamper
I ain't got no job, I ain't got no resume
I shower outside, but still use that Tresemme
I've got that Shure SM, 7B microphone
But I ain't got no fridge, dude my shit's styrofoam 🧊

Peace 🦁 🐘 🦒 🐒
