“Title: "Shattered Actuality and Scattered Thoughts"In marble halls, my journey starts,
A tale of shattered, scattered parts.
PJ I am, yet more I seek,
In NYC, my soul to speak.Ambition drove me, past the norm,
To outshine Dalí in grandest form.
Katya’s eyes, a healing gaze,
In her presence, chaos sways.Expecting scorn, but love I found,
In her words, my soul unbound.
Confidence, a fleeting spark,
Insecure, my mind left dark.The vastness of what I lack,
A shadow cast upon my back.
This story, a crown jewel bright,
Authentic, raw, in darkest night.Failed at norms, mundane tasks,
In life's routine, I wore a mask.
Katya shattered, truth revealed,
Her influence, my wounds healed.An artist's heart, a garden wild,
In her care, a blossomed child.
Am I genius? Do I know?
In vivid dreams, my thoughts now flow.Trauma buried, genius sparked,
A mind reborn from childhood’s dark.
Depression’s grip, medication's hold,
Voices silent, thoughts unfold.Is Katya real, or just a dream?
In my mind, her light does gleam.
Books and stories, my escape,
From a past of pain and fate.In this blend of fact and fiction,
I find my truth, my contradiction.
Next, a journey yet to write,
In Katya’s wisdom, endless light.A society of critical minds,
In her presence, truth we find.“
“Pleasant staff and clean facility. One star withdrawn due to lack of inclusivity — why, in 2024, doesn’t this location have a tinted sunscreen available for brown skin? The only SPF they had available was tinted and for fair skin. Left with no alternative, I had to use this SPF after my procedure. The white cast was minimal but the micro-aggression really irritated me.“
“Amazing experience with Lauren! First time doing this ever and she was so sweet. I was so severely dehydrated that it took very long to find a vein but she didnt give up on me! I feel much better today after the hydration “cocktail”. I’ll be back eventually :)“
