BIRTHDAY OR BUST . A self portrait as weird as the times right now. Each year I feel like I've been given a new line of knowledge, a new sentence that helps me understand my life better. I look back on this book and love how many pages are filled. I love all the characters. New, old, even those who should not come forward with me, I'll slip out of them like a pair of jeans into silk. I can't kiss the names of the people I love enough. Even ghosts are made up of vowels and consonants printed in permanent ink. Especially now, I'm reminded that I am the main character in my story but I'm not in everyone else's. All I can do is be thankful and present. I'll dog-ear this birthday and remember it as one that was truly unique but still filled with overwhelming joy. 🖤 . #dtrophyworld
