  • Day 4: Location – type of setting you live in I am currently living in PA, USA. I would visit this state a lot while growing up because I have many relatives here. I always really enjoyed the visits and I liked the open space and woodsy environment. I live close to the center of town…

  • Day 3: Gender – how you feel about it and how it affects your life I am a female, if you can tell. I believe in equality and feminism and even though both genders are different, they are also the same. We all have feminine and masculine energies inside of us and one is usually…
