As It Ever Was

As It Ever Was is a story about found family and learning to remain true to oneself in the face of adversity. It's set in mid to late 2004 and is a love letter to the punk scene and music as a whole. It is still in the writing process, check my Instagram for updates!

Big thanks to Valerie Ray, Fay Draven, Violet Valentine, Dante Verna, and countless others for your contributions to this story and never ending support!
