You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” These two sentences speak the utmost truth in life. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. I would sometimes stay up till 3am because it was that therapeutic for me and it was sort of an escape. It sounded so stupid to me at the time because why would I want to provide a service if no one can go to events? I was 13 years old when I found my love for makeup. In the midst of multiple COVID-19 lockdowns, I decided to start my own makeup business. As a child I suffered from insomnia and a fear of sleeping away from my home, which limited my childhood experience in terms of sleepovers, school trips, or sleep-away camps. My parents divorced when I was just 6 years old and I lived with my mom visiting my dad every other weekend. I feel like my entire journey thus far has been about taking risks… I was born and grew up in Warsaw, Poland. To be honest, I learned to hate it, and I often wondered if I had what it took to keep going. They were 4 hours each, and I was singing 100% covers. I built a name for myself by playing 225 shows in my first year (2021). I already was broke coming out of college, so I decided to become a musician? Lol. I sort of took two major risks early on in my career. I was very nervous because of the massive stage and looking out and seeing a sea of people.

I suppose I should pull it out of the closet and playtest my idea.The chapters in our stories are often marked by wins and losses.

Doom make one final push to take over the land. Doom the player turns end as normal then the armies of Mt.
