73 Questions About Me: A Vogue Parody

I had the honor of being nominated for this fun challenge by Jordyn, from “The Chronically Unimaginable” Blog. The challenge is a Vogue Magazine parody that is currently trending in the blogger-sphere right now (I haven’t heard of it until this nomination). I googled it and listened to a few famous people YouTube their responses. So much amusement listening to Anna Wintour of Vogue Magazine! Linking in my bio on Instagram, as a fun way to get to know me. Thank you so much Jordyn! I am so honored that you thought of me for this challenge. I am also really glad that we are both fighting to end the stigma of mental illness in this world. (The rules are found below my answers.)
