In this piece, the explosions explain my constant racing thoughts and ideas; my mind never rests, even when I’m asleep! The noodles are my favorite food- like spaghetti, ramen and pasta! The animals portray what my friends say about me- they say I have their energy, hah! The purple planet is Saturn; I colored it purple because I thought Saturn with a purple tint would be pretty in the books! Of course, that’s ME in the upper left-hand corner…. because, WHY NOT?!!
