Betty, oohh Betty, sexy generous and cool Betty. That goddess introduced me to a community, to Carlin, to love and respect, to generosity and security. She taught me that time is important and it’s not. She taught me how to become an abstract body that is no longer sad or depressed, nor tired of being strong and brave.

Many times, it is still scared of the past, but it understands that it is not about today. It’s a body that is heard, that does not want to disappear, that has already died in life and is slowly being rebuilt. A body that is inhabitable, huggable, sensitive, and fuckable.–
So fuckable and so eager to fuck everyone in this world. Love and respect
