I love a long bath. I love anything creative. I love decorating. I even love just flipping through magazines and vegging out for a while. But I'm also one of those people who loves to work, so I'll sing, dance, work on my next performance, or write whomever it may be about a new idea. ↗

I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it. ↗
