My Space
I need a space, a simple place to call my own.
A place to create, like an artist's studio with paints and brushes: my imagination in color.
A place to prepare, like a squirrel's nest full of acorns as winter approaches.
A destination in which to daydream, like a map of Ambition, guiding me into the future.
I need a
safe
space to be me.
