I believe that being a grown up means you get to have more fun than you did when you were a kid. Spend your twenties getting over your childhood. Spend the rest of your life collecting experiences so you have good stories to remember in the nursing home.
I want to try everything once. With out doing that, you can't truly form an opinion about that particular thing.
I am a realist during the light of day. I am dreamer at night. I love the English language. I hate Ghetto. I hate racism. I abhor censorship. I may not like what you have to say, but I will defend to my death your right to say it.
I love my kids. I love my husband. They are my heart and my backbone.
