Oeuvre

Growing up, my childhood was ladled with stories. I absolutely loved Carmen Brown, Junie B. Jones, and Joey Pigza, but the one story that stood out the most to me was The Bernstein Bears. The Bernstein Bears is a children’s story book collection written and illustrated by Stan and Jan Bernstein. The series focuses on combating common child and adolescent issue with the ‘power’ of family unity. Family unity was something that I did not have growing up and I idealized the idea of having someone there to listen to your problems. “Pain 's like water. It finds a way to push through any seal. There 's no way to stop it. Sometimes you have to let yourself sink inside of it before you can learn how to swim to the surface.” ―Kacvinsky.
