I feel so weightless in space and I seen Megan da Stallion doing the race She was clutching a brief case filled with heels she bought yesterday I love this chick so much because she has such a pretty face.
This is the kind of the world we Live in Theres the light and the dark in this world. A lot of this world is made from Indoctrination not a lot of people try to expand their knowledge or look at different perspectives. I have met a very small amount of people who are different. The good may be disguised as bad. Im grateful to even have an opportunity to have a life on this earth b/c I have no true Idea where Im going next. The bad is beautiful there’s beauty in the struggle. the world is losing Its humbleness but a lot of us are becoming aware. You gotta mind your business and protect your soul and energy. you don’t got no one but yourself-watch your own back.
Gushers, thank yu for bein there for me. You’ve been there since I was little. I always enjoy eating yu wit my lil brother. Me & my lil brother would always find yu in the cabinet when lookin for snacks. My mom would always get mad at us fer eating all of yu cuz you’re her favorit too. I love how when I bite down on yu the liquid fills my mouth. My favorite color of yu to eat is red. I usually always get yu when in at tha store. My lil cousins like yu too. I’ll be sure to eat some of yu when I get outta jail

I remember when WE got in a fight (at your dad’s), you never Called me names, you never hit me, you told me I was being rude, you stuck up for me when your dad punched me in the face, you calmed me down by saying something hilarious to me I choked you and still you never laid a hand on me inspite of all of that you still love me and I still love you.
I come from a small town, where everyone Knew each other and everything that went on. Kids who would go to school and as soon As we all got home we would link at The park play football or catch things in The lodi creek. I come from the town where not everyone Got along and but most tried. Kids would fist fight and make up the day After like nothing happened. And every day the same old lodi kids Would do the same thing just different Day.

This Photo is of me and my boyfriend holding hands in New York City. IN the photo you can see my right hand which has a bracelet he gave me in it and you can see his left hand and his hand tattoos holding my hand as the camera also points at the buildings as we hold hands. You cant see anything but our hands and what’s in front of us. But after the Photo we danced a little and he picked me up, held me, swung me in his arms and kissed me while everybody stared as they walked past us. During this photo I was very happy and excited to see the city.
