I’m still in shock and I still can’t believe it. But last night my father, Marvin Bruce Scott, who wanted to name me after him (Marvina), who made me feel like the most charming person in the world, and who taught me how to be an open and honest human, passed away last night. I feel numb, like it’s unreal. It’s so odd to want to laugh and cry at all of my memories, I have too many good ones to count. I’m just so thankful to have him as a father.

Christmas 🎄 🎄 🎄

Today marks a very significant day in my life. Peridot was adopted two years ago and this is the closest she has EVER been to me 😭 is this love? Is this cat ownership? I’m melting. Also can’t move cause she might never be close to me again @kweenperidot

I have been searching my neighborhood shops for Polar for weeks. On this blessed day a kind soul sent me a 12 pack of the nectar of the gods. For them, I am truly thankful. (@scrambledmeggggs)

Happy Anniversary to my best friend in the world, my biggest cheerleader and best binge-watch partner of all time. Spending another anniversary with a twelve hour tech rehearsal, and I can’t wait to get home and celebrate. Looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together, I love you Evan.

We’re here! We’re in tech! #RevolvingCycles #TheDuke
