My ultimate goal in life is to become famous and have a career so scandalous and absurd that it gets made into a Lifetime Movie and it graces the covers of every tabloid magazine in the country. I also hope to have a nervous breakdown, go bankrupt, and have all of my belongings auctioned off on Instagram Live.
