“One thing you need to know about me is that I am an absolute idealist. I see everything in this lens. Everything can be so magical if we a little kinder and more open. We are drafts and can all be made into masterpieces. Sometimes you need to dig into the dirt and explore things about yourself that you don’t want to see. It’s not about pretending to be perfect. This is why my work is the way that it is.”

“In the wake of COVID-19 (I know I'm sick of talking about it too but bare with me) we’ve found ourselves spending more time with ourselves than ever before. When we’re not baking banana bread or trying to stay caught up with the latest TikTok trends, there’s only so much you can do with your day that’s not just sitting & drowning in your thoughts (fun right !!!!!!!). When our world feels so scary & uncertain, why not delve into a fictional world that remains perfectly untouched and exactly the same as when you left it ?”

“In this relationship, I learned that the inkling I had about my interest in kink was correct. When I trusted him to set the rules, to tell me what to do, and how and when to do it, to make painstakingly clear what I should be doing at every second, to bring me back into the moment with punishment when I slip up and lose focus—all that anxiety went away. When I let him push the limits of what I am capable of and what I can take from him—the space in my head for self-consciousness and outside thoughts shrank and shrank until I could only be there, experiencing what he gave me.”
