There'll Always Be That Prep In Me

From When I Was A Really Small Girl On, I Would Pick Every Fabric, Every Color On The Walls, And I Was Always Redecorating. Like Once Every Couple Of Months I Would Redecorate My Room. I Had A Full Wall That Was All Collage - The Entire Wall - When I Was In Junior High. And Then It Would Kind Of Morph With Me As I Was Growing.

Even Buying A Swimsuit Is Super Difficult. And Then Making One Is Even Harder.

My Parents Found Tradition And Ritual Very Important, Because They Were Both Brought Up That Way And Found Comfort In It. They Thought It Was Important For Children To Be Kept On A Schedule. You Went Home For The Holidays, You Went To Mass On Sunday - No Ifs, Ands, Or Buts. That Was Ingrained In Me From A Very Young Age, And I Think That's Informed Who I Am In So Many Aspects Of My Life. I Crave Stability And A Schedule And The Security That Comes Along With It.

I Always Like My Trailer Or Hotel Room To Have Fresh Flowers Or Pillows I Find At A Local Flea Market - Anything To Personalize The Environment.

I Take The Subway Because I Don't Like Having Someone Else Driving. It's Hard For Me To Be In A Cab, Because The Traffic Makes Me Feel Insane. On The Subway You're Getting There Faster And It's Easier.
