“Filming is the way I see things. Really see them. I can capture what is important to me at a particular moment. That way, I keep it forever.”

She’s a parent. She’s my parent; worry and love are part of the package. But to me, it feels smothering.

My brain hurts from thinking about all the stuff I swear not to think about.

I need more supplies. Like food. Especially potato chips. Because nothing tastes better with stress than salt.

We must build bridges, conquer hate with love, and meet intolerance with a renewed commitment to education and open-mindedness. From many, we are one.
