J.C. Hemstreet grew up with a flashlight to their chin, telling scary stories in the dark of a hallway closet or a backyard tent to anyone who would listen.

Quotes by J.C. Hemstreet (?)

“It was always better to be free than to be safe. It was always better to have someone there to catch you when you fell than to have someone carry you towards the things you thought you wanted. ”
