Here Comes The Sun

Today I have a sun drawn in sharpie on my wrist, today I start my first day as an ambassador for The Honest Beauty Project, today I start my day as I do most days, dragging myself out of bed shortly after six, showering, making coffee, and facing the day.

Today, social media alerted me that is The Sun Project day, something I had never heard of but I have been educated it is a marking to denote your struggle with mental illness, or your support of those who do struggle. And I think that's important. Things like these are stigmatized, and its wonderful to see the push back against these things. I suffer from anxiety and depression, there is something in my head that works differently than in other "normal" people's heads (some might say I have been Next to Normal) but the other thing I have learned is that there are people everywhere who suffer with what I suffer, and that in a way is comforting. To know I'm not some alone freak of nature. It helps.
When I was in elementary school our choir sang the song "Corner of the Sky" from the musical "Pippin" and that was a moment for me. Here we have a while song about feeling like an outcast trying to find a place in the world, I empathized with that, that was a huge moment for me, I felt so much less alone than I had felt an hour before that song. And I think it's important to people that they know they aren't alone. I often mention this at the end of posts but today I feel that it's important that I just dedicate a whole post to it.

Recently I've been especially struggling with my anxiety and depression. I can't honestly pinpoint what's making this such a prolonged episode, but I'm here to talk about it.

I think one of the most important things that needs to be learned is this affliction doesn't make me, or anyone less human, less capable of love, relationships, or anything, than anyone else. It means I do things differently, part of being my friend or significant other is accepting that sometimes you'll have to help me through an anxiety attack, or maybe a bout of depression. One of the important things I have to work on is not letting that consume me. Another thing is some people might have to leave because of it, and I accept that. As you all know from my last post I have had to leave, leaving is alright. Sometimes you have to leave, there is no shame in that.

Some days there are good days, some days there are bad. It's important that I know, that I remember is that this bout of anxiety and depression will end. That the sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar. And there are things I can do to help myself. Listen to certain songs, eat certain comfort foods, go on walks, write it out. The other thing is I am in talks to start counciling and get tests to see if I am in need of further help. One thing I find important to remind everyone is that there is no shame in asking for help, in seeking out help. Do whatever you can do to make yourself feel better, we all have our coping mechanisms, and there is no shame in further asking and acquiring help.

I am more than my afflictions, I am more than my mental illnesses, they are a part of me but in no way do they define me. I talk about this because it is important that people know they are not alone. But they also need to know this does not define them, it does not label you. You are a wonderful human being inside and out. I love you all so much.
You are not alone. I started this blog so people would better understand who I am and what I do. It has been an immense help in my life. If this blog has taught me anything its that I'm not alone. You're not alone, darling you're wonderful. Here comes the sun, guys. It's alright.

Stay golden,
Love

Life as Unusual

See, I don't like this.

Writing sad blog posts

But here we are.

We might as well.

I have a lot on my mind, its been an eventful if still not great week. And I know how you feel "Bailey you just wrote your first truly happy blog post in forever why do you have to sadden us like this?"

Sorry.

(Not really)

No one has ever asked me why I write this blog, though for the sake of it I'll pretend they did.

I write this because it helps me. I'm bad at putting my feelings out there verbally, I'm a writer, not always a speaker. (Though I probably fooled some of you)

I had a date Tuesday, it was cool. There won't be a second for extraneous reasons but it was a nice date. Maybe she is reading this post. I doubt it, but if she is, Hi.

Wednesday I found out a relative had to go to the hospital, she talked about not wanting it to be spread around to much so I won't get too specific but I also feel the need to talk about it because it's all cooped up in me.

(It's really funny to see the difference in mood four days can make)

So there we sit, my father and I and our relative. We sit there in the cacophony of the hospital, bleeps, bloops, and all manner of noise surround us. Her roommate is rather peculiar, rather unhealthy by the way the doctor talked to her. Anyway, we sat there, and we all had this tone to our voices I can't quite describe. But we sat there and made our jokes, we talked about weather and all things of no consequence. All knowing that this could have been much, much worse. We were all very scared. We were all very relelieved. It was especially weird to me that we sat in the same hospital I was born in. Someone who came closer to death that any of us were comfortable with in the same place I found life.

Life is weird like that.

She is set to make a full recovery.

Thank god.

I managed not to cry today, which I'm proud of, I have a hard time not crying in those situations. But I knew I needed to be strong, hospitals own their own gloom, the gold oppressive day just worsened the feeling. No one needed a crier to make it worse.

Life is funny.

School drains me, I hate it I really do. I feel so obtuse there. I feel like I'm the odd man out. And it's probably all in my head. But I still don't feel like I belong.

Life is funny.

I see a lot of people on my Facebook getting engaged. I see my friends in these happy relationships, I see adults content with their life, happy with who they are and the things they have. And it's funny because I as a person have never experienced that. I've always felt unfulfilled. I want to find contentness. I want to be at peace with myself and the world and those around me. I hope someday I can settle down. I really do, one of my biggest fears is that I'll never find that peace. I'll never be able to stay with someone my whole life. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in one place. I'm afraid I'm unable to be fulfilled. That I live this life with this endless hunger that eventually will consume me. This is the flipside to what I last wrote about. This is the downside.

I use a lot of parentheses in my writing, I couldn't tell you why, I just enjoy it.

I had to write my college essay recently, and I wrote about how I felt isolated and alone as a child. How I was bullied and found solace in my imagination and prentend and that's how I grew up to be a writer and an actor. It was hard, it's dredged up a lot of weird feelings.

It's been a long week.

I'm very tired. This might be the latest I have ever worked on a blog post. This might be one of my more personal blog posts. I'm sorry that this is getting weird. I think it's only going to get weirder.

I'm not sure if I talked about my break up.

But since I'm just talking about all this other shit I might as well.

God I hope this doesn't cross any lines.

My last girlfriend suffered from bipolar depression.

I suffer from GAD (generalized anxiety disorder)

I loved her, I did. More than anyone I ever had before. I just need to preface that.

But she had her swings. She could go from being ecstatic to inconsolably miserable in the blink of an eye. For five months I did everything in my power to help her. I really did. Disregarding my emotional and mental well-being I did everything I could for her.

It wasn't enough.

There was nothing I could do.

Eventually it got to the point where everything was just about how sad she was. This ate at me. It boiled my anxiety. It consumed me. I fought with it. I stayed as strong as I could for as long as I could. I swear I did.

But one day I broke.

One day I had the most violent anxiety attack of my life. I was on the Commons. I was hyperventilating, I was sweating, shaking, teeth chattering. I wanted to scream and cry. I couldn't take it. I was broken in such a pure way. When I got home that night I was hurt and exhausted in a way I never knew possible. I was in a dark place. I had a lot of bad thoughts. I told her how I felt, I needed her to get help. I wanted to make it work. I gave her one last chance.

The next day it was the same.

I want able to save her. I had to at least save me.

Breaking up with her was one of the hardest things I have ever done.

I know it was the right thing, but that didn't help. If she's reading this I'm sorry for airing our dirty laundry. I just think this will help me.

I hope it does.

One thing I want to talk about is mental illness.

In the last year I have had two friend hospitalized for attempted suicide and a former student at my high school took his own life.

It's very, very important to me that everyone know that they are valued. They are loved. the problems they have are not theirs alone. Other people feel the way they feel. Listen, at leat one of you are probably struggling right now. You are loved. You are valued. You are special. You can do the thing. I believe in you. I love you. I never want anyone to feel like dying is the only solution to their problems. I love you.

I love all of you.

I'm sorry this got so personal and so deep. Im sure I'll feel better tomorrow. I think this helped. I cried writing it. It's important to me that people know that I struggle too. That I have fights and battles. That I'm not just some cocky asshole. Yes I'm alright, I am. I am not at risk. I don't want anyone to worry. I just needed to talk this all out.

I love you all.

Thanks for reading <3

Regards.

Because the Night

I am a chaotic being. I thrive on change and movement. I find my rhythms in the live syncopation of the world.

My parents and family worry about me, about the amount of time I spend out of the house, wandering, swing, feeling, exploring. And they don't quite understand that the unplanned wanderings and explorations of my world is the respite from the strict structure of a school day. And as I sit here on the Ithaca Commons, I feel a sense of calm I lack when in school. I can see the world happen around me. Hundreds of people, walking, talking, feeling, living their lives. Thats magical to me. And as I sat there sipping the remains of my lukewarm wegmans coffee, these three college students approached me, asking if they could spread the gospel to me. At first I was cagey, I didn't want to be rude, but I haven't always seen eye to eye with religion. So I told them I was Jewish, it was a lie, but i t was the same type of lie that girls tell sleazy guys in sleazier bars so they can finish their drink in peace, so the lie didn't bother me. But they asked polite questions about my life, and asked if they could pray for me. I said I didn't see why not, and so we sat, at the round, blue table by the center of the commons. And they prayed for me. They didn't pray that I would be saved from my sins, they prayed that I would find peace and happiness. That my college apps would go well. It actually made me feel really nice. I've always thought of myself as more of a spiritual person rather than a religious, but, I appreciated their kindness.

So as I wished them luck and saw them on my way, I sipped my coffee once more and began to write, I watched a little boy run, squealing with joy as his mother tried to keep pace, i saw and talked to an older man with a Bernie Sanders pin, (#FeelTheBern), and in these moments I found my peace. I found my peace in the chaos of life. Because right now at this exact moment in time. I'm not moving, I have been stationary for about thirty minutes, but potential lies all around me. The optimism and hope for adventure. I could get up and catch a bus to anywhere I want. I can go see a movie at the local indie theater. I could go for a hike, I could sit here and write. I sit here, on my first day off, my first day to myself in lord knows how long, I sit here with peace. Peace within the chaos and potential. This is why I love cities, they're their own little worlds, more lies in a city block than a country mile if you ask me. And since I lack a sexual attraction to farm animals and find a disdain for chewing tobacco, I find myself on Friday nights, catching the bus into town. I find myself with my friends dealing adventure, trying new foods, waving my arms with passion and excitement at whatever topic gas caught my gaze. So Monday through Thursday I bide my time, I do homework, I take notes, I go to rehearsals, work, and school, knowing that Friday nights are mine. Friday nights are for me to catch the always late bus from Newfield into ithaca. Friday nights are for me to stay up late and wake up early on Saturday mornings. Weekends are mind to walk down the street in my heart shaped sunglasses singing along to E•MO•TION or Ben Folds new album. Weekends are mine to be me more than I could ever be in Newfield. And to the people who let me crash on their couches, who let me borrow a t-shirt. Thank you, thank you so much.

Thank you to everyone in my life, who helps me get through the week. Who helps me and loves me more than I can ever know. Thank you.

Thank you for reading. <3

Stay golden, listen to music, stay beautiful.

Sincerely,

Bailey S. Fox

The New Adventures of Old Bailey Fox

Just when you thought I couldn't get more esoteric I title a blog post referencing a defunct sitcom.

Am I funny? No. Does that bother me? Deeply, yes.
LET'S GET EMOTIONALLY INTAMATE!!

A lot changed over the summer, I'm a senior, I'm now single, I make artisanal goat cheese for a living, I finished a script and started a new one, I competed in a dance battle, I now play guitar and I'm learning to play bass, life is exciting. But at the same time, it's not. I have this hunger, this hunger for new experiences and adventure, of new places and great stories, and with the start of senior year, those are suddenly in short supply.

Now, as a disclaimer, I am happy. I survived my break up, the first week of senior year hasn't killed me. I am just left with this desire to see more and experience more. But a lack of adventure does not a enjoyable blog post make. So I'm just going to talk about me.

I have changed a lot over the last year. Junior year was a real trial by fire, and I like to think I made the grade. But here I am, the best Bailey that 17 year old me can be, and I still face all the problems that past less super cool Bailey faced. So what was the point? Why did I better myself if I still have to face the same struggles day in and day out? My life is completely different than a year ago, but I still face the same problems. I fear no one likes me, I'm sometimes confident that no one likes me. I try as hard as I can to be positive, to persevere, to continue on, but it's hard to live in the moment when the moment is your high school reminding you why you suck and you will never be as cool as you want to be.

There are these moments, when life is how I want it to be, and the adventure washes over me and I forget my fear, my insecurities. And I chase those moments. That's why I have the hunger, because when I am satisfied I am unstoppable.

I have struggled with feelings of just generally being a loser no one likes. And this post isn't me crying out for attention or trying to garner sympathy. This is me trying to explain both to myself and those around me how I feel. I have let go a lot of my insecurities over the last year, and I have done so much more than ever before, yet the stubborn ones, they remain. I am doing my best that I can to over come them.

I've learned a lot of lessons, as I have said, several times. You can't change people, not with love, not with anger, people only change if they want to. And it hurts, but sometimes for yourself you have to leave, you have to accept the consequences that come with leaving, because you know that you can't save everyone, and the most important person to save is yourself. I still want to be the brave knight, saving the day, getting the girl, but I can't do that if I lose myself in my pseudo-crusade then it's a moot point.

I'm going to try and pull out of the sad nose dive we have hit and I'm going to go on a more positive tear.

I believe in potential energies, not necessarily like in science but in life. The potential energy for the extraordinary. In my opinion the potential energy at home is on average 0, it's a scale of 0-5, so keep that context in mind. At school it averages on a 1, at work we see a 2-3 range. In public, like if I catch the bus into town it's a 3-4 and then in new places its on average a 5, anything can happen, it's all new to me. And I take advantage of this as much as I can and give myself the best odds I can of experiencing the extraordinary. I want to go out and meet pretty people and eat weird foods. I want to see the world, do exciting and dangerous things, live life. I want to live, I want to really live. So, if you're a reader, hit me up. Do it, say hi, tell me about you. I want to meet new people, from anywhere. I want to try new things, if anyone needs a guy to go do random stuff with give me a call. I'm ready to live, to really live.

I will go out, I will see the world, I will fight dragons and scale towers, I will visit far off lands, I will do extreme things, I will be snarky in my heart shaped sunglasses, I will spend the night couch surfing between houses, I will go to parties, I will go to fancy dinners, I will give up my insecurities. I will fall in love a thousand times, or maybe once. I will take better care of myself and do more for me, to make me happy. I will read more classics, I will learn to like tea, I will use bigger words, become more cultured, I will be the best me I can be. I will get my homework done, I will learn new skills, I will get better at my old ones, I will write new stories and make more of my own.

I love you all, everyone who puts up with these posts and reads them and shares them. The people who talk me out of my anxiety attacks, those who go shopping with me or get coffee or whatever we do, I appreciate you. I am working on a super cool secret project that I will soon be able to share more about. I think you're all really going to like it.

Thank you to Camryn for the graphic above, I love you sis <3

Everything Will be all Right in the End

In the days I have been planning this blog post it has gone back and forth in my head as either one of my most optimistic and happy blog posts or one of my sadder and more introspective posts.

Though let's at least get through this, together.

Despite what I have written and what I tell people, I have continued to struggle with self-loathing. It's come through in my writing, it comes through in my actions, in my words, in my thoughts. It comes through, and the other day I figured out why.

I have let the self-loathing become part of my identity. I am afraid of losing myself if I give up this self loathing. If I give up my insecurities. If I stop performing my bad habits who will I become?

And that's the thing, I finally got it through my head that I know who I will become. Because it's who I am. I have let this problem I struggle with become who I think I am. But there is a post from tumblr that says, "When someone has cancer, they don't become cancer, they aren't defined by cancer, so you shouldn't be defined by the problems you struggle with" and that really hit me, I'm not defined by my fears and my problems I battle no more than a knight is defined by the dragons he fights. And it's time to stop letting me be caught up in the labels I try to give myself, because labels are for fruit, not people. Your fine ass cannot be defined by a single words. Because no one can be put in boxes or categories. It takes, sentences, paragraphs, entire novels, to do a person justice, so stop trying to use a singular adjective to decide who you are.

There is an Amanda Palmer song, "In my Mind" which speaks exactly of this, because "Fuck yes, I am exactly the person I am meant to be."

For a long time I have denied myself things like clothes, music, tv and the like due to fear of judgment from others, and thus in a way, I have denied myself happiness. Maybe this will become my manifesto and my battle cry, because I reached an epiphany, that I am done living myself as defined by others, because that is not how I was meant to live. i will be responsible for my actions, but I will not censor myself in the name of society. I want to become more approachable, not less weird. I will learn to love myself, I will wear heart-shaped sunglasses, I will fight, I will love, I will sass, and I will live. And god damn, is that all I want for others. I want others to love themselves and love life. Because I  have learned that life will suck, and you will lose people and you will mourn. You will lose battles and you will be hurt, but there is so much life to live to make the risks worth it. Because denying yourself what you want is pointless. The people who write you off for making you happy are not people worth your time.

It's 2015, it is time to stop being unhappy because a bunch of antiquated customs deem your happiness wrong. It's time for women to be empowered and in power. It's time for men to stop being forced to adhere to outdated ideas of masculinity. It's time to stop being racist, homophobic, xenophobic and a dozen other types of bigoted shitheads. It's time to accept that maybe people don't feel like they belong as the gender they are born as and that there are more types of gender and sexuality than the two we had when we also considered other human beings property.

Today, today I declare Independence, from my insecurities, my fears, and the judgement of others, today I become an independent man. I am free from the things that don't make me happy.

I want to save the world, I want to be the knight in shining armor that fights the dragon. And damn it, I can be.

I love you all. I do, I want to say thank you to so many people that it would be foolish to try to name them all, but hopefully you know who you are. So many people helped me get to this point and it means so much to me that you did. You're wonderful people, all of you. I want to thank everyone who has, had, or will ever read my blog. Your unwavering support is astounding.

Godspeed you beautiful people.

On a Lighter Note

It was a dark and stormy night... Now, this could be a reference to the tone of my blog as of late or the fact as I'm writing this it is storming out, it's truly up for interpretation. But I suppose my blog has been on a slightly gloomy streak.
Wrote the Angst Ridden Teen


And it hasn't been because I'm a depressed at risk kid, these posts have been an attempt at an emotional exposure. A type of brutal honesty with myself, scrubbing my soul with the abrasive nature of my words. That sounded less pretentious in my head. Anyway, enough exposition, let's get on with the blog! Let's do as the title says and get started
I'm really proud of this joke as it works on two levels, artistically and musically.

I try to be a positive guy, or at least hopeful. I was hopeful people would read this blog, though I never imagined I'd have over 7,000 views in its existence. And My friend who is an avid reader of the blog once commented to me on the obvious growth of my character and being through the course of the blogs existence. And it's funny because rarely do I read these blogs after I publish them. Though I did have the pleasure of reading my writings on the dress code phenomenon with my principal, which was a surreal experience. Anyway, at one point I debated changing the name of the blog to something more serious, but I realized if I did that, the whole point would be gone. There needs to be a certain level of self awareness with writing these things, I need it to be known I'm only taking myself so seriously. And I have started to lose track of that, as I have stopped making as many jokes in these posts, I've lost a certain angle of self awareness I need to recapture.


As I've entered my summer into my final year of high school I have found myself suspended in this bubble of surreal. I can't quite believe that this is truly happening, in one year I will be going off to college to catch my dreams, and that doesn't fully seem possible, as I still run for the toy isle when we enter the local department stores. This forced perspective on the future has given me an opportunity to look back. High school has been a roller coaster of character development, every time I think I get on top of my game I seem to find new ways to screw it up, but that is okay. The thing is life never goes how you plan it.
John Lennon, who is an asshole, a brilliant asshole, but an asshole all the same, never planned to start one of the biggest bands of all time, he never planned to be on a poster behind my head as I type this next joke which is in poor taste, and I'm sure he never planned to be shot. But all that happened to him. And all kinds of stuff happens to us all, there is a never ending torrent of events that make up our lives, and some look at with hope and some look at it with despair. I think you have to look at it like MacGyver looks at a ballpoint pen and some handcuffs, not an end but rather the means to an end.
Though no one should ever look at hair styles like MacGyver did
I think life should be looked at in a way that allow you to take what you have and move forward with it. You should be able to use what you have to make progress, to escape the problems that plague you.

Another part of my retrospective has been brought up by social media, my freshman year of high school I dated a girl who was my first real girlfriend. She was a junior at the time, (she also might read this so I accept whatever rage comes with her reaction with apathy) and she was the coolest girl in the world to me at the time, I was head over heels, and I'm not sure she ever saw me as an equal, I don't know what gave me this impression, maybe it was because she never saw my shows, maybe it was because she never saw my shows because she was cheating on me with her ex, maybe it was a hunch, who is to say. Anyway, when we dated she was this cool hipster chick that got me into a lot of the music I listen to today, though really it was more of a gateway into weirder more obscure music. She was a talented musician and I really though she was the coolest. I was kinda lousy to my friends who were not her biggest fan (justly so as it turns out, retrospect is 20/20) and she became my whole world, a world that would be ripped away from me with her cheating on me and our following break up. She was a large part and factor in my emotional landscape for a year or so after. Today she shared a post on facebook about how the Confederate battle flag was about freedom, not hate (ironically). And it struck me, this girl who I idolized and I thought she was so cool now works fast food (I am not downplaying or criticizing fast food employees,) she never went to the university she applied to for the major she wanted to, and she now dates her camo decked boyfriend. She once told me she needed to buy new jeans as she made all hers daisy dukes. She wasn't cool anymore. A girl who I dedicated so much of my life and thought and time to was now just another hick in town, she became a cookie cutter neo-confederate. Life is weird.

In my last post I made an apology,  and right now I'd like to say thank you. I want to say thank you to all the people who have helped make me into the man you read before you today, so thank you everyone, you know who you are.

There is a lot about life that can't be predicted, but I think that's part of the fun. You never can plan for every contingency, no one can do that but batman and that's why he has no friends, he has plans to kill them if they become evil, that can be a buzzkill at parties. 

I currently work a job that pays me to play with Legos and make Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer while graciously and kindly working around my rehearsal schedule for shows I'm involved in and I am thankful for that. I'm thankful for my friends and family who put up with me and love and support me. I am thankful for everyone who reads and shares this blog. I'm thankful for the opportunities I have to act and perform as it never fails to bring me joy.

I hope people know I'm not constantly suffering and sad. I am constantly made happy by my friends and the artistic work I do. I'm deep down, below my snark and brooding, I'm just an optimistic kid who wants to save the day and slay the dragon. And I want the people I love to know that I love them, because every day I am reminded to what wonderful people they are and all I want is for them to see what I see and know that I love them. I also love you, dear reader.

 As always if anyone needs anything written or acted in I am more than willing to work for you. I'm also currently working on a project which I will talk about more as it becomes more of a finished thing.

Thank you all for reading

<3

An Open Apology

So, this blog is like a child I live vicariously through and make myself look better by extension.

My recent abandonment and lack of regular posting from this blog casts a dark image of me as a parent.

So, those of you who know me in real life know me as a rather crass, loud mouthed, semi-obnoxious, human being. And in all honesty I'm not trying to be a bad person, I'm just awkward. And this awkwardness manifests itself in a loud, precocious, melodramatic somewhat alienating personality. And for this I am sorry. I have trouble being comfortable in traditional social interaction. And those who know me know probably these things about me.

I've probably dated a friend of yours.
You can probably hear me three rooms away from you.
I have probably said something rude or obnoxious to you.

And these things don't fully paint an accurate picture of me. While these things are true, there is more to me. I don't want people to think that all I am is some two dimensional character. I care deeply about my friends and loved ones. And all I want, all I really want is to fit in. And my fear of not fitting in manifests itself in these traits I am known for. And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I haven't put forward my best traits. I'm sorry that I have spent so much of my life putting forward these not fully honest and truthful traits. I'm sorry that those of you close to me have to constantly tell people that I'm not that bad once you get to know me. I'm sorry to those of you I have alienated by my behavior. I've just wanted to be included. I never meant any harm or annoyance. I've just wanted to be accepted. And hopefully I can do my best to fix the damage I have wrought on my self image. Maybe it would be better if I hired a public relations person.

I know that I can be a loyal, passionate, loving, creative, dedicated, helpful person. I am intelligent, I am able to help and to make things better. And I want to thank everyone who has helped me realize this and achieve this. Thank you to everyone who has helped me to become the man I am today. <3

In conclusion, I am sorry that I have given this image to the world. And hopefully I can fix that. I have spent my life trying to fit in, and that isn't how I was meant to be. So instead of jamming my puzzle piece into the wrong part of the puzzle. Trying to make a picture that isn't there. This post is really just be asking for forgiveness for who I have acted like. I have done disservice to who I am, and to those who love me. I have closed myself off to these opportunities because I have given people the illusion that I am incapable of achieving things, of following through. And I fully and wholeheartedly apologize. I'm sorry to the people I have to constantly apologize to for my behavior. I'm sorry again to my friends who have to defend me time and time again. I love you dearly and I want to love more people and I want people to know, that they can count on me. That I will not let you down. I am here for anyone that needs me.

If anyone needs anything written or acted in I am more than willing to be hired. You can contact me via email at: bailey.f98@gmail.com or on here.

As always thank you for reading, I love you dearly. <3

Stay golden.

Love,

Bailey S. Fox
