I guess the point of that song ‘Troublemaker, Doppelganger’ is trying to navigate the worth of beauty and if it’s hurtful or helpful to value beauty. If it’s a curse or a blessing.

Rosenberg Read Quote
When I’m traveling, I always look for a dance studio. It’s a great workout and a wonderful way to meet new friends in the community. Rachel Boston Read Quote
