Hey there! I'm raising funds to create my first Halloween costume, which will help me develop my costume designing skills for a future career and redeem myself from a previous failed attempt. Any amount you can donate or even just sharing the link would mean the world to me—thank you so much!
Even though my mental health is gowing south, I would like to give a huge thank you to Taylor Swift for unlocking my inner witch. Also, happy late 31st b-day which in reverse is your lucky number: 13.
