Rose was free from the labour of smiling .
Rose is void of any necessity to feel something she doesn’t – like eternal happiness. She’s actually quite comfortable within a full and complex range of emotions and how, where and when they may appear on her face, in mind – or in public. Rose feels no obligation to make miraculous recoveries from emotional disturbances either. Long Live Rose.

Rose liked to save the flowers from dying .
Rose enjoys rendering her world with things of great visual delight.

Long Live Rose.
Footnote: Rose is an independent promoter of self acceptance (and indulgence); a star in self development; and a high minder of her own identity. She stands supremely comfortable in herself, resolved and content on her own path – and free from any expectation to be liked or followed. Her stories read like a dream school report, with a quirky twist and streak of Rose’s signature deadpan humour.

Rose was a complete stranger to rejection because she never gave anything away – and what she had wasn’t up for grabs .
