Why is she like this?

I have suncatchers everywhere.  Every room that I love.  When I take away the suncatchers, you know you’re in trouble. 

I’ve come to a place in my life that I no longer want drama.  I also, don’t want randoms hanging around.  I don’t have any time for those that do not bring me joy.

I’m an artist. 

My rosy disposition has vacated. I’m still a rainbow shooter, just like my Daddy.

I miss my Dad.

That’s all for now.
