Again, it’s been a minute. The month of January was honestly a serious test, and I’m just happy I’ve made it it to the other side. I sat down to write for the first time in a month, and realized that this will be my 100th post. In that case, it’s only fitting that I redo my first post: the Vogue 73 questions.
