“-favorite place on earth: I don’t know that I’ve yet experienced my favorite place on Earth. I’m excited to find it.
Favorite cuisine – my mom’s spaghetti.
-most beautiful location you’ve ever cried in or alike: on a bench in the lower east side as a realized a close friend of mine was just going to continue letting me down. An older lady sat down next to me and we didn’t talk, but my life felt the most cinematic it’s ever felt. As I then tried to find solace in an alley to let out a big cry, but it’s New York and there are people every fucking where, so I couldn’t even cry alone in an alley.
