I am bold, colorful, weird and I am me. I came a long way of finding myself but here I am, now more than ever, I exist. I stand for everyone, for who they are or what they are. My inner self brightens the world around me now. I reflect my personality threw my external appearance. You know I will be myself, crazy and tough, when the TV is OFF.
