Introduction

When you stop growing you stop living. There’s no way around it. If you can’t challenge your way of thinking, how solid was your conviction in the first place?

This chapbook’s title speaks for itself. This is art for the people. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you enjoy it. Love is love no matter how you spell it.
