Living your life 40 floors up, looking out every day on ocean and skies, you see the world from a different point of view. It's like living in a very interesting fishbowl, but since no one can see up here, it's like a fishbowl with a limo tint. ↗

Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself. ↗
