Feliz Cumpleaños to my Momma! She's been my best & only friend since I can remember. My fondest memories of her as a kid was being taught to dance Cumbias, rocking out to Air Supply, going to work with her at the Tinder Box and sniffing flavored tobacco, helping me with reading comprehension when I just wanted to die,teaching me to drive at 12 for late night Liquor Store wine runs, staying up late, smelling Marlboro cigs & watching Jerry Springer! She believed in me when everyone else doubted my capabilities. Here's to a beast of a woman, one who sacrificed everything she knew and had to give us the best life possible. When everyone in life just takes and takes my mom never stops giving. Like Dani says, you really are a real life guardian angel and I am blessed to have you as my Mother. I love you Momma, more than words or a fucking shitty IG post could ever express! If you know my Mom IRL, wish her a fucking Happy Birthday. A text really ain't that hard. She's housed and fed half of you (who know her), signed off community hours, and has sent so many of you bums money lmfao.
To many more years with this Lady!

Feliz Cumpleaños to my Momma! She's been my best & only friend since I can remember. My fondest memories of her as a kid was being taught to dance Cumbias, rocking out to Air Supply, going to work with her at the Tinder Box and sniffing flavored tobacco, helping me with reading comprehension when I just wanted to die,teaching me to drive at 12 for late night Liquor Store wine runs, staying up late, smelling Marlboro cigs & watching Jerry Springer! She believed in me when everyone else doubted my capabilities. Here's to a beast of a woman, one who sacrificed everything she knew and had to give us the best life possible. When everyone in life just takes and takes my mom never stops giving. Like Dani says, you really are a real life guardian angel and I am blessed to have you as my Mother. I love you Momma, more than words or a fucking shitty IG post could ever express! If you know my Mom IRL, wish her a fucking Happy Birthday. A text really ain't that hard. She's housed and fed half of you (who know her), signed off community hours, and has sent so many of you bums money lmfao.
To many more years with this Lady!

The homie gave me some Ilford SFX film that I fucked up and had to push to 800. Here is what that looks like.

It's this moment of clarity. An epiphany others may say, but its really just the Psilocybin connecting in some sensory phenomenon binding the same receptors in the brain as the neurotransmitter we know as serotonin, & I'm just glad i could share that with gente I love💘🍄 #909 #sanbernardino #ie #trippin #shrooming #analog #120mm #filmcommunity #ilford #soulcatcher #keepfilmalive #portriats
