CW: themes of death, childhood death, anxiety It's no secret I'm a night owl, always have been. There hasn't been a moment in my life when I've felt the natural pull to rest my weary head at a decent hour. My least favorite quote? "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." Dumb (okay, not dumb...maybe I'm just jealous?).

It doesn't matter where I am, what day of the week it is, or what's going on at any given moment, odds are, someone needs me. Don't misunderstand me -- the neediness of my kids is something that is innately precious to me. But for the looooooove it can wear a person down, ya-know-what-I'm-sayin'? As a mom of five (I call ... VIEW POST

🌙 Still emo...with worse knees and a mortgage....fully charged after a lunar eclipse 🌙
✨️ Decades of loving @mychemicalromance and I don’t think my soul will ever reenter my body ✨️
🌙 Thanks for absolutely numbing my existence, catapulting me to the moon, & sending my little elder-emo soul into a tailspin, @thebreeders @kimdealmusicofficial @kelleydeal @josephine_wiggs @raytoro @gerardway @mikeyway @jarrodfletcheralexander @jamiemuhoberac @thecoorsfield 🌙
And *every* artist/crew member responsible for *gestures wildly* ALL of that 😭🫡

✨️🌙 Braless for Dolly, dolls! 🌙✨️
✨️ I am *The Moody Mortal* because I am moody...and mortal. Our mortality is what makes this life so magical, breathtaking, and deeply heartbreaking. Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have left this realm & the magic they`ve given our world will continue to inspire generations of hearts that long to live softer, wilder, weirder, & truer lives. ✨️
🌙 Sharing a few of my favorite quote from both of these gems along with photos I`ve captured over the years. 🌙
✨️✨️ Don`t dream it -- be it ✨️✨️
