I am talking about my art to Roger:

Roger: “You are simply lighting up right now! You are beaming!”

After getting us into his official afterparty at the rooftop of a strip club in Vegas for free, Jerome Baker said to me, “Come work for me, freckles.”

P: Before I say what I called for, I am not on drugs…I think the Chinese food place drugged me. I am very dissociative and paranoid. I think I am experiencing psychosis.

Dear Phoebe,

It’s funny because now that we have discussed the cards i feel like this can be even more special. Excuse my handwriting its not as beautiful as yours. I remember the day we became friends. We had already worked a shift before, but you trained me with Haley so we didn’t really get to talk. Our second shift though was just me and you. You looked over, bored as fuck, and said “Tell me your life story.” I was thrilled! Garrett always told me I love people who listen and I’ve learned he is right. You just let me talk and for 6 hours we exchanged stories and experiences. I knew from day 2 you were a 4. That was the day we became friends. Like you said our personalities compliment each others, and I knew this from the start. What surprised me completely, and still to this day, was how developed you were with no knowledge of the ennegram. You understood so many of your strengths and weaknesses without even knowing the source. Being friends excited me. All of the conversations we have had help me gain better perspective on life. And as amazing as that is, it only touches the surface to the amount of ways you’re improved our friendship. I don’t get close with many people despite how many I aim to help, and yet you broke all the barriers. You listened to every rant i’ve ever had. You responded to every text I ever sent. You gave me advice and perspective on my sexuality preferences. You were there when I needed a friend most. Phoebe you helped me remember why I want to save the world, because you are truly someone worth saving. You have such an amazing and kind soul, and although for now I’m one of the few who experience it, I know with your dedication and intelligence, you’ll break through any barriers that hold you back and achieve true happiness. When you do, the world will see you truly shine, and you’ll forever feel the love of this world. We chose the correct timelie.

love, John

Madison,

Dad here…just a reminder that I love you and I am so incredibly proud of you and this accomplishment. All fathers want their kids to go further than them. At the age of 2 you’ve already done that. I have no doubt you are going places. I knew it the day you were born and every day you prove it. College is rough I’m sure so in those moments of loneliness or uncertainty remember this…I am here always cheering you on! Love, Dad.

Words of wisdom from your mother (+ Pinterst)

Your future does not lay in front of you…it lies deep inside you. Life is not about finding yourself…its about creating yourself. When life becomes a rollercoaster climb into the front seat, lift your hands + enjoy the ride. Rise by lifting others. When life gets crazy, do something normal. Always be nice Life is how you handle Plan B. Practice the art of listening. Be silly no matter how old you get. Find joy in the choices you make. Remember in the end good always wins. Never forget…I will love you forever, for always, no matter what

XOXO
