Allow me to Re-Introduce Myself : Vogue 73 Questions... again.

Hi Everyone, It is 2024. It has been a while.

The world has gone through a pandemic, I have lost a sister, I have estranged family members who I never ever thought would be estranged, got a new nephew (x2), I have moved moved into my very own apartment in NYC, met some flipping amazing friends and people and have and some incredible opportunities, first relationship, first heartbreak, first exposure to mental abuse, started some creative projects (stay tuned), pursuing my academic dreams (God-Willing), plus more.

I know, I know… you want to hear it all now—JK you likely don’t even know who I am lol— but we will have to get into all that later! For now, in the words of Eminem.. allow me to re-introduce myself..with the VOGUE 73 Questions. I answered these questions a long time ago when I first started this blog, and I found it to be extremely fun and reflective… ok, I must say, as I am typing this out, I am wondering why I have decided to revamp this blog online instead of a visual social media channel. I don’t know… I think I just simply miss writing. We are so inundated with visuals these days; I miss reading and practicing my writing. Also, with the use of AI and chat GPT software, I just want to maintain my own voice. Wow, that got a bit deep. Who is crying? Certainly not me.

Moving forward, last time I started by opening the door to my virtual and luxurious “humble mansion,”but given I pay a good pretty penny for a New York City Shoebo… I mean apartment, we are going to stay genuine today. so..ehhemm..

I still hold this truth to be self-evident that one day I shall be famous enough for Vogue to follow me around and ask me these questions in real life. HeHe.. However, until that dream becomes a reality, this will suffice.
