Expect The Unexpected

Expect The Unexpected

So expect people to expect you to sacrifice your happiness for theirs. It’s human nature for those who only see it one sided. It’s okay because you’ll have the will and strength to fight it and at times when needed with respect.

Better Than I Was Yesterday

Better Than I Was Yesterday

This is an episode that I feel strongly about. It’s not something I take lightly because it’s important to love a child right. And there is such thing as bad love. Children don’t ever deserve it. They deserve our best because that’s what we expect from them. Enjoy!
