Dedicated to Emerson Barrett

Thank you for inspiring me and showing me the beauty of creativity. Ever since I was seven you have never seized to amaze me with your work. Showing overwhelming love and respect through musical talent, artistic masterpieces, and unfathomable writing - you have helped me to have the courage in being myself and start exploring the infinite boundaries of my mind. You are the reason I am here today, and why I continue to do my work of hope.

I owe you everything.
