I hope to loca...

The song was and still is heavily influenced by the actions and reactions of real people who feel alone. Reaching beyond those moments of isolation brings together an invisible community that can serve as truly connecting during times of personal disconnection.

Pod Crashing episode 494 with super model Kim Alexis from the podcast Unexpired… Being an international supermodel, as Kim Alexis was in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, inspired a quiet rebellion within her against the cultural expectations that tell people, especially women, who they are supposed to be and when they are supposed to fade.

When my mother transitioned, she took every memory with her. She wrote nothing down. Even worse, she never spoke of her younger chapters. I'm the exact opposite. I've been a daily writer since July 1994. The things our parents did that they never shared with us. I believe my mother had a love affair and I came from it. She always dodged the questions, and I'm not interested in a DNA background check. Mom's probably right to keep things like this away from the future.
