Name?

Just Because I’m unique,
Doesn’t mean I’m weird.
Doesn’t mean I’m crazy,

I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome at the age of 21. Last year, at my annual doctor’s visit, I  informed my doctor about my irregular and absent periods, excessive hair growth on my arms and legs, sudden weight gain, recurring acne, chills, sluggish days, inability to get pregnant, and increased sex drive.

Mark Harris wants to be a Philadelphia tree once he dies. He has everything prepared from his clothing, burial site, and even biodegradable coffin.
