Crying my way to the bank

It's the one year anniversary of me performing on stage for the first time and winning @mothstories. Grateful for all the friends who never tire of hearing my half baked stories and especially those who fake laugh at the stuff that isn't really funny. Being able to write and perform helped me find joy when life got really tough. The blessing isn't lost on me. 🙏🏾 taken in The Bell House by @azharba
