ahhh so much…i have so much to respond too…such amazing thoughts…thanks for sharing.
I see so much truth in so much of what you’ve written. I also absolutely loved Puja…amazing ehy? Such a spunky little confident girl, from such a troubled environment. I love it…people like her show me the truth of how we make our choices and how we are in control of creating who we want to be. We can choose to not be at the effect of our environment.
Loved your songs…i had no idea how great the words were to pink’s song. Awesome.
