you're not special: an abstract guide for the confused and captivated
My name is Valkyrie and I've made it my goal to learn as much as humanely possible while pushing that same message to other people in my community. Contrary to popular belief, most of what you say and think doesn't change the world, but it's about what you do that truly showcases what we're made of. Stay tuned every Thursday for new episodes.
