In the middle of everything going on in the world, I am gloriously, delightfully happy. My mom says I am starry-eyed in love, and I don’t deny it. It’s more than the Viking, though he is a HUGE part of it, I am having one of those amazing periods of my life when I see …

I went on the Twitter and spazzed out. I always spazz out on Twitter because it feels the most like I am …
