A 3 part bit of advice
When you get up to pray, treat it as if it is your farewell prayer
Beware of saying something that will necessitate an apology tomorrow
And never look at what the hands of people possess
I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
-Sylvia Plath
I can’t fake nothing . Ima genuine person if I like something ima say I like it . If don’t ima just keep quiet .
This has happened to me twice.
