I never had a specific dream for my future. I knew there was somewhere I was going...something I was working toward. For years I thought it was a career in Hollywood...being a "household name" and having so much visibility that I knew in the depth of my soul that my haters saw my rise to fame...that is the past.
I've changed. My message is new...and my way is difficult yet, I'm happier...In the struggle, I mean...trying everything I can to recognize myself from moment to moment...from day to day. My journey is now one of my own discovery. I work hard for me now...ONLY me. These pictures are my story. They are my heart...my soul. They are me and without them, I'm forced to accept who others tell me I am...who THEY allow me to be.
I am the creator of my own story...the author of my own destiny. With this power, I challenge everyone around me...everyone I've never met...and everyone I wished to be.
You see me...how I tell you to see me...
See me as the sun. Shining all around you. Holding you. Loving you.

They’re having a hard time picking much. And maybe you are, too. P...

Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
In Sig...
