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.)

Instead, my mother anguished year after year in silence. I buried it and it took on a life inside my precariously promiscuous wild life.
