“I had young parents and I had parents that were addicted to drugs and you know there is something to be said when you aren’t the priority of your parents. For them to be your mirror, as a young child. That your parents don’t have to be perfect, just always remind you that you are loveable and you’re worthy and it starts with being a priority.”
