Quote 1: "I think a safe space requires you not to judge others, but also not to judge yourself."
Quote 2: "I like to make content that's not trying to be cooI. I really like to embrace however weird I'm feeling in the moment. The process to me is always interesting. I don't care about viral trends. I'll sometimes do those if they feel fun, but I tend to avoid those."
