About Me

I'm me. Everything comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me
