I am a fish without a bicycle.
I am interested in the way that we tell stories about ourselves.
I am my own map.
I am a woman with a mission and a past.
We are all just bodies of water.
I am a walking contradiction.
I am a survivor of my own wreckage.
I am drawn to the dangerous edges.
I am not defined by my scars, but by the incredible ability to heal.
I am a collection of stories, all trying to make sense of each other.
I am not afraid to drown in the depths of my own emotions.
I am a vessel for both love and pain.
