Heroes:

The cliche parent answer! But in my case it's closer to the truth than anyone could imagine...they are the heart and soul of my family and of me...no one has ever sacrificed so much to make so many ungrateful people gain so much! Without a doubt the best people I know...I mean come on I'd be no where if my poppa long ago hadn't said you can't wear b&w shoes, you can't wear baggy clothes, feather your hair, or wear nikes or white t-shirts and we're moving out of LA cause you are not becoming a chola and pregnant...and my momma who said, "you make your own life mija...cause no man is ever going to tell you what to do...your father didn't tell me so ha." While my dad totally agreed right next to her...both of them for showing me that pants aren't only made for men...both peeps in a household can wear the pants and make it work. For steering me away from what I shouldn't be and being beyond patient while I find out who I need to be.

My Blog
