What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? The best advice anyone can receive is to simply mind their business. When you focus on your own needs and wants, life treats you differently.

Let me tell ya’ll something, some real spill. People look at me like I have 24 heads as I take the medication I do and still continue to work, and get up, and move around not sleeping all day.

Animals are very much similar, if not human beings themselves. They have feelings and emotions, just as well as you do.

I’ve been battling Epilepsy since age 19.

There is a reason why I hang around the crowd I do, why I attract such positivity and production. My mindset isn’t the same as you because you are you and I am me. Get it? I can take constructive criticism, I can take new ideas, I can take new artist and turn it into... Continue Reading →
We as humans demand attention in certain aspects, and then turn around and give people a reason to be in denial on our decisions. For example, a major example in my eyes.
