My heroin 👆. And Frida. Of course.
Read. Read. And read. And then write your story! 🔥
You have time. Be patient and heal so you can tell it well.
p.s. You are more than your identity 💜
And with that brain of yours, you're kinda bound to succeed and then return to give a hand to as money many other kids as you can, please. But your art and writing could do that 💥

Now I have to thank you. It's morning now, and I woke up worried about the different things I'm invested in, but I rested. I saw your comment as a notification earlier, and looked forward to checking it out, but I never got around to viewing and replying yesterday. Am I glad I did.
I wouldn't have had the chance for you to share this with me, if I didn't write my story somehow, somewhere. Call it synchronicity I am in a time and place like this where you connected what I wrote to works I had no idea about. May I please say again that I'm grateful you took the time out to share this with me?
I'm so glad you found them inspiring.
Also - James Baldwin. The man is a genius, really. Incredible human.
Yeah. I go back to the artists, writers, poets and philosophers when I'm feeling despondent about humanity and people.
There are som amazing people out there doing incredible good as well.
Take it easy. You've still got LOADS of time to create the life you want ❤️
